Some say the world will end in fire,i'm confused. seems you are doing the same thing as them.
having a thinner inside wall allows you to reduce you work down smaller while still keep it somewhat thinner and maintaining the 'depth' on the outside with the thicker walled. the only reason for the clear on the inside is to hold the color while pulling it.
if you are 'washing your colors out' you are blowing it too thin.
you gonna do some "fire and ice"? or "fade-to-clear"?
I have some black/unobtanium and white/unobtanium tubing that i'm going to make some bubblers and then domes/dishes out of.... I have some of the fade to clear, did a fire and an ice fade to clear and didnt really like how either of them looked -- it was my color choices that were poor.i'm confused. seems you are doing the same thing as them.

That's the kind of deal im looking for. I want to add another larger torch to my collection. So the more I save on the kiln the more I spend on a torch and new tools. Im sick of using glass female fittings for g on g tools. Im also looking for a reamer that is hallow. Anybody know where they sell those?

Sounds like a challenge! A contest to see who can do a double layered spoon or slide the best.............. I've only done ONE double layered thing before, and was less than impressed by the results, but I learned a *lot* while doing it........so let's see some double-stacked wig-wags. maybe throw some bitch windows in there as well.
wig-wags are for girls. get yours to do yours.Sounds like a challenge! A contest to see who can do a double layered spoon or slide the best.............. I've only done ONE double layered thing before, and was less than impressed by the results, but I learned a *lot* while doing it........
What would the prize be? Cant be the losers pipe thats no fun haha
use it for frit.Boo!!! hehe thats good then, i'm kinda lazy and didnt want to waste a bunch of fade-to-clear glass
Time to turn the kilns way up.would love to see more STRIKING COLORS.
If you've done a stuff n puff, its the same, except you cant puff you can only stuff. Put in in the other like a dick in a condom then on the balls side tack it down with some heat to keep it steady then "stick stack" air suck it from "tip to balls". Sorry for the overly penis comparisons, but its easy to understand.
When you have a spiraled section inside of a section that is half color half clear and wigwagged or spiraled or whatever then the layer under it will show.......... The termination on the tip sides should already be completed and you do both terminations on the balls side (blowtube side) when you finish the piece after puffing out whereever you want the next tube to go..........
