what size rod are u using? ius 19.5 line up like 3 colors and cover with clear then flair out like some 9.5 and start with that. its all aboutconcentrating on the glass thats in th flame when your coiling and where its laying. thats my phiosophy. touch your solid rod and pull out of the flame for a sec until you get your first ring started then try and keep them consistent or make them bigger towards the end. if you make them big at the begining it makes it harder to shape later. hope that helps a little
