Bench Trick: Flame Chemistry || REVERE GLASS ||

[@Rllavig]

I just want to thank you guys for the info your putting out there.. Its appreciated, specially from guys like me who are wanting to get into that field... every piece of info in detail matters. much appreciated! keep up the awesome vids!

[@Twosevenboy1]

really look forward to more fume vids really appreciate the time u guys take to turn out these vids

[@chrysshart]

Thank you so much for covering this! Reading about it is one thing, but it's nice to be able to see about how it should look and sound at each stage. Will you be making a Bench Trick video covering the use of blowhoses?

[@CeeKayz0rz]

Dumb newbie question incoming: Why do these torches have a second oxy knob? I've only worked with a Beth Alpha so far (because there's like nobody here who blows glass), and I'm wondering what the point is in having two different oxygen adjustments on a torch such as this, and do they connect to a second oxy input or something? Is it maybe a fine/coarse adjustment kinda like the two different focusing knobs on a microscope? Or what? Thanks.

[@Shipleysk8er]

Hey man i really like the videos you guys post they are alway really informitive i was hoping that you could do a video on how to properly strike out different colors it would be loads of help!

[@aldirobert4277]

I used to do jewelery using small machine with a small torch ..from rio grande USA ...this torch is something different knowledge and different art ...thanks a lot mate ..for sharing these ideas with us ...

[@durdleskattman4635]

Your headband game is incredible, have you ever used a GTT Viper? The $10,000 One, your fortunate to be able to use the delta, that thing is a cadillac of a candle my friend!

[@inspiredrenoglass]

Quick question for you... I purchased some rough cut black opals from mountain art glass. When i tried encasing one. I think the rough surface created air pockets and cracked the clear around it. Should i polish off the rough edges before encasing

[@tonycortese2531]

Dustin, keep up these great videos, you can't imagine how helpful they are for those of us just learning this amazing hobby.

[@dustinbodie5675]

probably a dumb question, but why put spark arrestors on oxy tanks if its none flammable?

[@Smokeyboi97]

always just be safe

[@marckbashaw4562]

With my lynx am I able to keep it lit with just the red knob cracked while I'm on a short safety break, or is it better to just turn the torch off completely?

[@samson_glass]

yet another great bench tricks episode. Kick ass to get your share on! 8) Hot flames to ya Revere

[@danmcneil8572]

Tell the Apollo 1 crew that oxygen is non-flammable. Lol

[@anthonypiantojr2760]

Thanks for that Dustin very very helpful

[@gabrielocean7622]

Could you guys do a video about striking colors; what types of flames to use with different types of strikers?

[@durdleskattman4635]

I sent you guys an E mail, i was gonna try calling the shop but i know you guys are busy and you probably dont got time for Silly calls Haha naw im gonna try to e mail yall again :)

[@sandrolucero7248]

good info bro. i was always wondering why my flame would perform better/worse depending on the input ratio but never understood til now

[@MrFallafell]

What do you use for oxy pressure on the regulator? Does it matter much? I read its around 15psi

[@Kdubsglass]

So which GTT are you guys useing i was going to buy a lynx triple stage torch but i could always get a cheeta if that would be better

[@gph9674]

Very useful information to get a grasp on the flame with. What torch are you using?

[@mrbigweezy420]

Coming to Portland eh, and how does one get to see you and Kev, when you guys come???

[@METALkush420]

awsome thanks for all the great instructional videos :)

[@onm4034]

I see I am 8 years late to this party but why don't you work the candles?

[@artinjectors974]

very helpful. thanks Dustin

[@davesnothereman3828]

What about when your trying to polish out devit

[@spudxxx1]

something id love to no is how you run your mini torch what gasses and pressure because i heard that you need to run it with hydrogen

[@minuteman3282]

Hey thanks guys! Really appreciate the hands on videos, I have learned a lot from watching. I have used a Red Max for the last 4 years and have a question about flame chemistry. Nortel recommends using 5 psi on the gas and 15 psi on O2, but I always set mine to 10 psi gas and 20 psi on O2. How does the difference in psi settings effect the flame? Should I continue to set the psi that high? Or lower back to the recommended settings? I have read others using much higher settings on their Red Max. I'm also looking forward to a video on fuming, can't wait! Thanks again guys, you rock!

[@MadSativa]

on your torch it just messes with knob response, as you have to move the knobs less to get a desired result. I used to like this but I now set my regs to what Nortel recommends it requires moving the knobs more but I can get a bit more precision from it.

[@MrKnappyhoe]

how do you guys feel about compressed air?

[@horticulure2010]

love this vid it can even be helpful for those who have been blowing for a while.

[@alexroth7195]

Shout out to Kevin! And special Thanks to dustin You're the man!

[@TheKronpowkid88]

Lets see a fillacella or some more wigwag vids like a wag pendy

[@danielwilson5663]

Just up front, glass is very new to me. No experience with it whatsoever, but I do have a little bit of oxyacetylene welding experience. For example, when welding steel, I tend to use an oxidizing flame instead of a carburizing flame because the excess carbon hardens the surface of the metal (which could be both good or bad depending on what the weld is on.) My question is, when/why/where would you use the different kinds of flames for different applications in blowing glass?

[@alex-poeppel]

***** Different colors of borosilicate react differently to different flame atmospheres! if you're working with clear boro, this isnt very important.

[@rafaelbrango]

great info! thank you so much; what type of torch is that?

[@spudxxx1]

so ive been watching your videos and noticed you havent make any large peices i was wondering if you could make a large water pipe by hand say 2 to 3 foot with about 7mm thick at base and tube btw my name is micheal and i have had the dream to be a glass blower for the last eight years and your videos are very helpful

[@revereglass]

How to make a Glass Bong on the Lathe || REVERE GLASS ||

[@spudxxx1]

***** thanks wasnt able to find it but do u also have a video on kiln fusing and cooling like all you wouldd need to no about kiln temps

[@spudxxx1]

spudxxx1 i also ment without a lathe cause i dont got 2k just sitting around for a lathe

[@beachboardfan9544]

Can you use acetylene and oxygen or does it have to be propane?

[@SugamSimpleGameplays]

Hey bros! Down here where I live, we don't have a huge culture on glass, but Im starting my own glass works. You guys are really inspirational for me! thanks a lot! Could you guys talk more about the oven? (I mean "Quil" .. not sure about it's name) big hugs

[@spudxxx1]

btw can i use acetylene instead of propane

[@Syler1979]

just a quick question what kind of GTT torch should i be looking at to start off, i want something i can grow into and not out off too quickly and i would rather buy once than have to sell and by another later on. I dont have the 5k for a torch like yours, would a mirage torch be a good starting point?

[@MattJasa]

+Syler1979 It takes time to grow into the science and familiarity of glass blowing itself. You can learn a lot just off the Cricket without sacrificing much money. Everything Dustin does can be scaled down in size.

[@gotnitro4329]

Where did you get your glasses

[@mikesfound]

Do kiln video please I want to understand it like you explained the flames. More learned the better one becomes

[@revereglass]

Will do!

[@terpenetime23]

hey dustin! r u filming with a didymium filter? if so, where could i acquire one haha. any help would b greatly appreciated! thanks for making these vids too!!

[@NotaSuspiciousName]

oxygen is extremely flamable even by itself, it dosent light becasue of the pressure of it when it comes out the torch

[@revereglass]

Oxygen is not flammable, but it can cause other materials that burn to ignite more easily and to burn far more rapidly. The result is that a fire involving oxygen can appear explosive-like.

[@ryancornelius1007]

I learn so much from you, nice torch too!

[@nannydogs]

What brand shades are those Dustin? i want new ones

[@DailyJuggle]

this knob then this know or thes 2 knobs, what! sounds like trying to figure out a rubiks cube!

[@MattJasa]

+DailyJuggle Haha yea he didn't go into detail there. Those knobs are for his 1st stage torch(7 ports in the middle called the Lynx). Setting them low will give you that sharp flame. Then hes saying you can add 1 more knob the '2nd stage oxygen' to help sharpen the flame by adding more oxygen around the outside of it.

[@richardmoreira5265]

Whats the general rule about blowing at night. In an open garage i tried about a week ago and the blanks kept cracking. Could the open garage door have caused it to crack.

[@victoriasanchez4179]

+Richard Moreira preheat your glass bro

[@richardhaser7067]

Great explanation of the flame chemistry. Thanks so much for all you do. I have a question that is a bit off topic. How is zanfirico tubing made? Is it just a stick stack? I love the way it looks and would like to incorporate it in my work. Thanks again for everything.

[@juliedangerrr5252]

This was quite helpful! Thanks fellas :0) Question for Dustin... do you ever make your own specialty colors, or mix colors together for different effects? Is there any specific technique behind mixing colors on a small scale? Cheers!

[@georgeattala7640]

Just what I needed to know to get through today’s project! Thanks for the info! Much love!

[@BoroMonkeyGlass]

I love these videos, but RULE #1!... NEVER USE A LIGHTER TO LIGHT YOUR TORCH, don't even have one on you! They didn't get the nickname "pocket grenade" for nothing! Always have a "flint style" sparkler lighter handy. They don't blow up as easy. Great video other than that! :)

[@altontisdale2689]

very informative! Would love to see an explanation covering the differences/similarities between triple mix, premix, and surface mix torches

[@teufelskerl001]

I'm really looking forward to Revere Glass getting its online store back up and running. I'd like to be able to show my support for the channel by buying some of the awesome glass Dustin and the gang make.

[@Lookinformemarbles]

Thanks

[@andrewstrahan15]

down ass video really helped with flame chemistry and understanding how its explained..... keep up all the good work and i really hope to come up and meet u one day ive been away from glass blowers sence i left my old boss and i really miss just talking and getting help im getting my setup back soon im going to sign up for ur online classses

[@MKingPimp]

Learning so much! Been watching a lot of your guys vids lately and hope to be doing glass work some day soon and i have you guys to thank for the inspiration. Some of the loops on the pendents you have made remind me of the 00 gauges i left on the West Coast yesterday by accident lol Do you guys do things like specific gauge sizes and if so do you have any tips on measuring?

[@jimiwannabe69]

This is my favorite channel sharing knowledge is what this community is all about:)

[@Pindar1215]

Thank you guys for the great vids! They've inspired me to start glass blowing. Do you need to be 18 to take classes at your location in Berkely?

[@davidwoolford6868]

Thank you sir

[@zacharyharris6295]

Wonderful bench tips, can you touch on the does and don't on your torch, as in what types of flames can damage the torch and how to avoid them. :)

[@Lord_Kekkington]

informative vid, just watched the private vid of eusheen doin a filla, laughed out loud when i saw dustin just loungin with his feet up barefoot in between photos. keep em comin ***** !

[@dwcgrowz343]

👍

[@CarrieRulesTheBlock]

great bench tips... i just got a gtt lynx and would like to know how to work it like a pro? could you do another one on just using the center fire that would be great!

[@fairwitness7473]

Thank you

[@jonnyg7629]

Awesome

[@spudxxx1]

again i thank you greatly you really helping me alot it wasnt possible for me before i found your channel

[@invinciblejets4690]

This answered a lot of random questions I had. Thanks guys!!

[@bwedemeyer1428]

Thanks for the torch chemistry tips. It is great to see how the candles should look for each type.

[@davidjoseph191]

Really appreciate this video, thanks! :D

[@q6211]

Really useful vid!! Thanks Heaps :)

[@patrickclancy7526]

how much does a torch like this cost? or how much would a decently affordable one cost ?

[@teufelskerl001]

I believe that Dustin uses a GTT Delta Mag, which runs $4000 US dollars. www.glasstorchtech.com/deltamag.html

[@patrickclancy7526]

thank you !

[@Corzahazard]

verry handy for a first timer like me, keep the excelent work coming

[@GardenShackGlass]

Thank you for sharing all this knowledge!

[@flatlanderglass9326]

Awesome flame technique Dustin!!

[@raymiedc]

thanks I always wanted to see the third stage on your torch..

[@389008]

this is the best video so far, well the most helpful torch wise i guess.

[@callmebobownes]

why is the ggs shirt red on one camera and normal yellow on the others lol

[@wahbuddy]

Because they use a didymium lens, like the glasses they wear.

[@callmebobownes]

ahh that makes sense

[@kawaiimeatpie9795]

Should I watch out if I use a specific flame for too long? I heard you could damage ports if you use too hot of a flame for a prolonged period

[@MattJasa]

+Benjamin “kawaiimeatpie” Walker For GGT they recommend keeping candle length above 1/4th" specially for lower pressure set ups. You essentially need to push the gas combustion away from the torch face or you'll start melting ports.

[@kawaiimeatpie9795]

+Matt J, thanks! Know anything about the recommended candle length for Redmax?

[@MattJasa]

Sorry I don't, There doesn't appear to be a manual on there website. If you contact them by email they should be able to help. (From website --> For more information on torches, contact Jean: [e-mail])

[@kawaiimeatpie9795]

Thanks man, you've been a big help.

[@stevens2340]

POOP

[@Smokeyboi97]

propane, oxygen, propane, oxygen. POPO. As he said, Oxygen is not flammable..

[@a.m.garcia7879]

Every time i use a reduction flame i get soot, is this normal or am i reducing the O2 too much, i still have the O2 running? Also, ill have to rewatch to see if i missed it but, whats the 3rd set of knobs for? excuse my ignorance im new to it all and im working on a nat8m, i literary only have 2 knobs.

[@Lord_Kekkington]

get that oxy turnt up

[@a.m.garcia7879]

Anytime i get soot i do, i guess i have to just learn these flames. Im like 4 months with no one over my shoulder to help. At least i got yall helping with what you can. Thanks curtis

[@teufelskerl001]

Each set of knobs controls one ring of flame on the torch. The first set of knobs (the ones closest to the flame) controls the center 7 jets of flame. The next set of knobs controls the middle ring of flames (33 jets of flame if I recall correctly), and the final set of knobs controls the outer ring of flame (50 jets if I am remembering right.)

[@Lord_Kekkington]

i just started as well about 6 months ago. self taught, which is bittersweet. check out talkglass.com for photo and vid tuts. peace A.M. Garcia

[@kawaiimeatpie9795]

you reduce a little too much oxygen

[@clashgamingforce9800]

You wasted so much oxygen and propane smh

[@ThatOneFatGirI]

Clash Gaming Force They didn't waste any Oxygen as they generate their own with an HVO system and they probably wasted 15 cents worth of Propane...

[@revereglass]

Eddy Yang True, Also consider how many people will gain something from this video. I am more then happy to "waste" a little gas if it will help the community at large

[@victoriasanchez4179]

+Revere Glass lol and that why you my fav glassblower haha open minded-ness its a awsome trait hahah

[@stevenspall8257]

+Clash Gaming Force He didn't WASTE anything. He USED it to teach. Teaching is never a waste. Knowledge is the most valuable thing in this world.
