That might be a difficult thing to get perfect. Do you have any lathe tape. That will compensate for some of the problems with your machine and make it usable. I wouldn't expect to get it perfect...

I think a store called treasure chest in ft myers has a glass blowing studio set up?

why not call chemglass and tell them you want to make a glass torch and see what they recommend? That is what I did and they were very helpful.

@coloringdan I guess the check valve is to make people feel a little more safe. Like a seatbelt on an airplane :)

i've made a few with both glass check valves and an extra fill valve. I use the glass bb's and they work ok but sometimes freeze in place when filling. I would not make one without a fill valve...

If anyone wants to email me about this you can reach me at yellow03820@gmail.com thanks!

A very interesting history of copyright is explained in the documentary about girl talk called rip. good film in many ways...

Take the time to research ssr's for this application. Forget mercury or mechanical relays.

my guess is thermocouple or controller. if it was the relay or elements the controller wouldn't go nuts & read 1600, 1700. I'd wiggle & clean the connections at the controller & check your...
