Sooty reds

[Lotti]

Ever since I changed my propane I have been having a real problem with reds and black streaks in them.  Have a commision for some red encased beads from the US and try as I might I just can't get the red to be red and not red and black.  I am thinking I might need to turn my oxycon down a bit?  Thanks for your help. xx

Whenever I change my propane on my hothead I get sooty beads - not just reds   I find I have to fiddle about with the regulator a bit to solve it.

Thanks will have a go.  My DB accidentially fiddled with the regulator when we changed over and now I can't remember what to do, think it is supposed to be right down and then back up again a turn or two, but not sure.  When I do get it right I am going to make a mark on it so if it gets fiddled with again I can find the right spot!

Yep! right down then back up a bit usually does it for me!
