Brass tubing for blowing shards?

[Ness]

Will I be able to blow shards on brass tubing? 
Seems like a silly question, I know.  Just checking with you lot 'in-the-know'.

I don't see why not as long as the hot end is far away from you cherry reds

You have to have a much longer tube because it conducts heat more easily and quickly. I think I used about 18 inches but it's very unweildy.

Will the glass stick to it

Ahh good point, what if she roughs it up a bit? With sandpaper not down a dark alley

If any glass is still sticking to the tube once the shard is blown, just reheat the tube and dip into cold water or have I misunderstood what was meant.
