Title: Muddy Transparent Glass all of a sudden
Post by: Donna@Rockin' Beads on March 15, 2008, 03:31:00 PM
My transparent glass and quite a few of my frits seem to have gone all yucky all of a sudden. Could it possibly be because my bottle of propane is nearing the end (I've been using it more or less for 5-7 hours every week since October last year and I can't hear any sloshing in it any more). The muddiness appeared about 3 weeks ago and is affecting all types of transparent glass and some of the frit mixes.
Could it be a near empty bottle of propane or something else?
I am on a Minor with an Oxycon and big bottle of propane and haven't changed anything (I think!!!).

Thanks guys......

Thanks, I'll have a hunt for the thread, although a search on propane brought up quite a few hits last time, as I'm sure you can imagine!!!  ;D

Right, I've found the thread and now know for sure that I need to get a new tank.
That was easy.....
