Advice please

[Edi (Edith)]

Can anyone please tell me what i am doing wrong. I have spent an hour playing with glass this afternoon and I was trying to make some ordinary round clear beads and I wanted to practice some stringer work BUT I have burnt the glass I have some orangy streaks in the glass. I cleaned the rod before I started. I have a minor and oxycon I run the oxycon between 4 &5 I always turn the propane to the same spot -no pressure dial- How can I check what i am doing. Do I turn the propane down or run the oxycon on a lower setting.
I hope this doesn't sound gobbledygook.

I run my oxycons at around 3.5 - so a lot lower than yours.. maybe you are getting your flame  too hot.

I would suggest turning down your propane

Thank you I think I am burning the glass. I think I will have to review how I set everything up

Hi ,

What colour was it that was burning , was it one colour or lots of different colours , it could well be just your glass.
