I'm still in my first few months of lamp working and as of now only worked 25x4mm tube and was wondering;

What size tube should I get for Some Jars?

I have done small size ones but I am looking for a larger jars. I'd say big enough to stick a whole hand in atleast. I didnt know if I could do that size on a 50m or if I should do like a 60 or 75

i make big jars like that out of a furnace... hehe

at the torch, i use 25.4mm to make jars in upwards of 3 inches wide. just have to gather a bunch up.

i also use 32 mm for jars depending on my mood. :D

one cool thing i found when making the top of the jar to fit a cork, if you dont have a reamer big enough you can use an extra cork you have as a reamer that is the size you need. drill a hole just add a cheap dowel handle wih epoxy and soak it in water and after you build up a good layer of carbon from use, just keep it wet and it will last a good while and make your jar tops really round and the corks will seal real good.

have fun :chilling:

Thanks for the advice still lookin to get my point across as legal as possible.

Basically a medium sized jar. Not to big, but not to small
