coil pot

coil it up man make your own tube

[HOSS]

Yep what they said. If you use lattice to coil up a tube it looks really cool. You could also do a "roll up".

i usually coildpot, and then blow it into a piece of tube.. i guess coil..and rod encase..damn rod encasing... takes way to long..

stick o the stack. color side by side around somthing melt in smooth rod encase or not ,pull down.

blow outs with some big rod, if you have a big enough torch.

[earlbacher]

or do pendants and sculptural work til your order gets in...

[newmexicomagma]

use cane stock to coilpot with, they look pretty neat.

You should do a clear rod stick stack and make your own clear tubing. LOL It may work if you are that in need. Or just use tons of color and make some pipes with that. Just my thoughts.

Take a 8 inch rod of color and gather it onto the end of a 40mm+ gather, and implode slightly... Push an indent into the end and blow out with a large blowtube or preferably a metal blowtube with a THICK moil on the end... I have built extremely large bubs using only this tech, you get great even strikes with striking colors...

I'm with Dr. so and so

[jusbag]

lay a line of color down a 5" piece of 20mm. spin as you coil onto a 12mm blow tube. looks hella sweet!

Ditto Dr. *&^%&^%

Its a great way to make pieces, takes a little time to get down but GREAT technique.

I don't know if this tech is originally Matt's, but he's the first person I ever heard talk about it- flatten four clear patties, stripe on one side, make a box and melt it into a tube! I've never tried it, but according to Matt you can get Hundred-line re-balls this way...
