Well had a close one today, landlord arrived to look at the place... was suppose to be later this week. My super secret glass studio in the spare bedroom was fully assembled (was actually cleaning and making it disappear). Omg I got such a fright, they had let themselves in, I had to confront them at the door and state the place was a horrible mess and ask them to return later this week when Im searching for a house.

Almost got caught on the last day haha. That will teach me to melt glass on the 3rd floor of a 16 floor condo in a spare bedroom.

Anyhow, these 2 made on the hothead, hense the slight not quite perfect round and little imperfections near bottom. Largest is 1.8inches x 1.2inches. Moretti on the inside and Lauscha clear on the outside.

On the bright side, I may not get my minor etc and concentrator right away ( could be as late as next spring after my thailand/philippine ummm vacation) but I will be setting up with a real torch. No more hothead. Worth every cent of its $35 but soon time to move on.

do yourself a favor and get urself a real torch :) honestly, you probably end up wasting more money on glass, fuel, time and frustration screwing around with hot heads

Woah!!!!!! you did this on a hothead???!! Damn, how many hours did this take?
If your coaxing this type of stuff from a HH, imagine the levels you'll go to with an upgrade?
