You def should man! They know how to jam!
Here are some newe techs I learned In ATL. The front of tube popped off on blue one so decided to tryin a coil pot that A cool cat named Pat showed me in ATL. Turned out cool so tried another with multiple colors. Also did A line work spoon with a Line tech I learned at flametree. Got some dead dichro, a flower pendant and new turtles as well I did week or so ago.
after puttin off prodo all day I decided to try to pull a small color tube did it on 25mm and its lines encased about 1&1/2 in worth of color stripes to start with. Made a spoon and a chilly pics tommorrow maybe- this stuff is weird to work with, and was havin problems but pulled em off. I think my wall thickness on tube was not even or somethin. duno really hard to tell when you cant see in it or through it, lol big thanks to rob and puck down in FLA for showin me a good way to make tube and encase. Also big props to puck for lettin me watch you make prodo with colored tube for a couple days. And not to forget thanks N-Dark for originaly inspiring me to do this. Think its somethin I just gotta use to the feel of though, Yall made it look easy.
Skeliton dicro Sick!
loookin good man.. :)
yo didja stripe color onto the tube then stripe clear ontop? thats my lame tube pull style :D

I dont like having to work the colors in the direct flame and figured would be more consistent wall thickness . Some of my black greyed out a lil and few bubbles in the red. But from what Ive been told. You get the most tubing out of your color with the encsasing method.
and thanks slick420- Thats my fav as well!!!!!
what black was it? with jet black you just gotta use more oxy, altho i tell ya i just made a couple things and they greyed on me anyhow dammit :d more oxy!
Ya it was Jet- It was only black I had and Didnt wanna use to much oxy cuz of yellow and red boiling but tried to keep it high as i could. It only greyed a lil. And I suck at chillys cuz I dont hardly ever make em but went for it and its not that great in my opinion. But Im more a spoon person so Im kinda biased im sure someone will love it. They are on the small side on things and I think THey could have came out better felt like I was fightin it the whole time. Oh well Ill get the feel of this stuff down in next couple trys I hope.
That flower is amazing man! Nice progress too, I see you've been working with dichro images, looks fun! Haven't given them a try yet, but I need too! Good work turtle!
Tryin to make a color order , does anyone know a good black that can take a slighty reduced really soft flame. and also a good white from NorthStar?? and any other colors for making tubes with encasing method to avoid or that you like???
onyx black and egyptian white sand.....
Thanks !!!
