<p>Kage: </p> <hr /> <div>Byproduct of popping a hole outside of the flame. Looks like cellophane and is lighter than dust. When blowing through a tube to open a hole, if not in the flame you can produce bubble trash. Don't breath it.</div>

<p>Kage: another line tube technique</p> <hr /> <div>A technique for making colored line tubing. <br /> <br /> The vac stack is an evolved method of the ''stick stack''. the setup is done while cold, and a clear tube which is sealed on one end is used as the core. the core is surrounded by colored rods, then sleeved with a larger clear tube. once hot, a vacuum pump or shop vac is connected to the outer sleeve and is used to suck out the air between layers.</div>

<p>Kage: Technique for applying murrini</p> <hr /> <div>A technique for applying murrini or millefiori into a marble<br /> <br /> Steps<br /> <br /> 1- chip a slice of your favorite murrini or milli <br /> <br /> 2- use whichever tweezers you care about the least<br /> <br /> 3- use a clear rod which the diameter is at least the same size as the chip<br /> <br /> 4- heat only the tip of the rod to be white hot. at the same time grab your milli chip with your tweezers<br /> <br /> 5- as your rod gets close to the point of fluidity, very quickly flash both sides of the murrine in the back of the flame. just a slight glow is neccessary, and try not to hit your tweezers (too much) with the flame.<br /> <br /> 6- set the chip on graphite as your clear rod comes out of the flame. hang the rod vertically, come down to the graphite, slowly drip and push it on the the milli chip, thus picking it up with the rod and slightly imploding it.<br /> <br /> 7- continue in the flame as you would for a normal implosion marble<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> tips:<br /> <br /> steps 4-6 require perfect timing in order to get the heat right<br /> <br /> if your milli sticks to the tweezers, this is due to over heating. when you go to set it on the graphite, just give it a little tap and it should come right off.<br /> <br /> use a narrower flame to avoid over heating your tweezers<br /> <br /> if your tweezers are mashing your milli chip into ovals, then you are overheating your milli</div>
