Really. Dammit. Im probably thinking of the wrong shit. But I found a starter kit for 2-300 bucks.

Only problem is i dont have an annealing kiln and no intent to buy one.

get a gtt torch. you need a kiln to aneil it properly. You can do it in perlite cuz it brings the heat down slow but not if you use good glass, just if you are a beginer.

yea propane will bend and thats about it...mapp a.k.a propylene gas will work though it gets hotter then propane depending on the tip and torch your using use a swirl type tip. and without oxygen added.... and mapp is fairly cheap compared to oxy/acetylene if your just fuckin around..alot of people actually use propylene or propane mixed with oxygen it will work just as good as acetylene and is alot cheaper:bigjoint:

no ones offered. :-(

i'm waiting for my kiln. i don't want to put out anything that is not annealed. my wife has one small marble and my son has a pendant. i'm afraid they will crack unless annealed. once annealed you should be able to drop them no problem. other than that i'm holding onto everything until i can run it thru. :bigjoint:




i'm liking the mushroom scuplture. i swore "no mushrooms", but it's looking kinda cool. with the right match up of a few mushrooms and a cool base it might look really nice. :cool:
