I've got some, not used it yet, but yes, I believe you can use it as long as you work it cool. You might need long arms to hold it away from the torch head!

Lucky you!

Don't forget there are two types of Sataki, the soda glass and the other range that has a lot of lead in. Make sure he gets the right one.

Yes, you can but you might be better off on your hothead.  I boiled the snot out of it when I tried - but I am on a Minnow with 2 oxycons

It is best done on a HH rather than a minor and you will need to work it very cool or the colours will simply boil away. If you get it right the glass has a lovely ethereal quality to it. There are a couple of Japanese MA and research students at uni and they are awesome on the torches!

Thanks guys to be honest if i had the money i,d get him to bring me a air torch home .
Never mind i,ll try my torch and see what happens if i cant do it i,ll buy a hot head and try that.

thanks again xxcatxx
