Dirty Clear......

[Mandy]

Ive not had this problem before,so don't know what to do..... So I'm asking the frit people to put me straight xx
i have been using my crystal clear and I have never had any problems, then all of a sudden black streaks........
I clean the glass before and always cut the end before use, What else can I do?...
Thankyou xx

Some suggestions:
Check that your propane is not running out.
Turn the propane down/oxy up for a more oxygen rich flame.
Check you are using Eff 006 and not 004.
Check there is nothing on the face of your torch (bit of glass, frit or carbon deposits)

Actually just looked and it is 006..There was some frit in the torch so i have cleared it out, fingers crossed it works! thanks again x

Yeah, that would deffo do it, Mandy.

I have a Cricket, and although I dont work with a high propane flame, I don't work NEAR to the flame and my 5 little jets are sufficient in length not to cause soot, I regularly have to clean the holes with the pokey wire
