Ok interesting... So just blast it in the pyrex and let it sit.... How do you determine its dry enough and ready to be scraped?
when it's not gooey anymore, it's dry.

when the bubbles shatter and it flakes when scraped.

Ok cool, gonna give it a try with a batch. Since I will prob only run like a oz of trim, it wont be as thick as yours in the pics so i figure mine wont take as long to dry. Fun stuff.

as matt stated, the thinner you can spread it the better. only spread it while it's still in liquid form. once it turns "oily" and starts bubbling stop moving it. i rock my dish back and forth for a minute or two while the butane evaporates. once most of the liquid is gone i simply put it on a shelf.

it's been in the 90's here lately. it relaxes at room temp in my playhouse.

i have used a small hot plate when vac'ing just to see if it would bubble. i typically don't even bother with either though. i bought the vac for glass blowing. it's more for shits and giggles then anything.

Hey can't believe I justg found this thread! Subd!

Hey does anyone know a good way to clean the oil inside my oil bubbler? I assume iso will eat rite thru it?

I vacuum purge my oil and it makes a big difference. If I take a hit unpurged, then after every purge it gets smoother and smoother. I always purge in a hot water bath too, I don't even think the vac purge works unless the oil is kept warm.

i DON'T purge. :wall:

i did it once or twice for pics, and to simply try it. it is NOT my typical method.


i'm am saying "HMK is an asshole and his work is still janky". you DON'T have to agree with me, or even reply to my opinion. it's just an opinion. :)

I think hmk ti curves are sick. What do I know I'm just an oil head.

I use a green godess vapor bubbler.

What's the deal with the quartz curves are they better than ti or glass? There more expensive.

Quartz is to glass as steel is to butter. Glass melts like butter, quartz melts like steel. In fact, it melts at 3000(f) versus borosilicates 1500(f). Because of this, quartz nails last a lot longer than borosilicate glass nails, and anyone with a glassblowing torch can work quartz. Most glassblowers dont have cnc and lathes for cutting titanium, and wouldnt want to either. Quartz is used over borosilicate because it wont break as often as borosilicate or stress as much. Titanium is used over quartz because it lasts forever -- it's the last nail you ever buy. :)

Titanium huh. I've always wondered about Tungsten Carbide. :)

Tungsten picks melt in about 10 seconds in the torches flame, and they also have a substantial amount of gasses that burn off of it which scars glass every time........ Given that, I'd never try tungsten and oil together............

Tungsten Carbide is dozens of times stronger than Titanium and will break far less than Titanium. I don't know the melting point of TC offhand, but that was my only point. ;)
