now....
first take one of those reversals and make the hole bigger, around 1 inch (26 mm) in diameter.
take a point of 44 or somthing big like that, art it inside out, then start closing your flare, then when your flare is slightly bigger than the hole on your reversal, insert the lip around the hole on your reversal ball into the lip of the flare on your large point, then seal it up, reduce and shape, you'll have a perfectly centered reversal cap on the back of your bowl every time. If you have any trouble e-mail me and I'll take pics of a step by step. This is exactly how I do my cap spoons.

if stacking reversals is your thing.
I would look into a class with J-lee and Marcel. Looks like your about ready to me. It will open up unlimited possibilities for stacking r-balls.

heh
excellent point. well my advice would be to start trying to get the wigs to line up. I am not sure how you are doing them but if you start at one end of the tube and heat up a small section give it a 1/4 twist. Skip over the same amount of space you just used and heat up another small section and give it a 1/4 twist. Continue this till you get to the end of your tube. Then go back to the first area that you skipped and heat it up and twist the opposite direction 1/4 turn. Continue with that till the entire peice is wig-wagged. This should help keep everything lined up just right.
When you go to melt it into a ball do it in steps. Melt down half of it and blow out into a ball, then do the other half, then melt both of those balls together. All of this I am sure you will get down with tons of practice. Have fun!

do what the last guy said sept..........
start w/ tubing thats half one color and half an other, running down the length of the tube, rod encasing color on a large dia. tube with clear and then stretching it out . after you do your wig wags pop your hole in the center of your color and match sections color to color or make solid color tube to match em up with. you can also twist em up for spirals and S's or split sections in half for bowties and other cool E-feccts. have fun dude
