yes thats essentially the flare i switched over too, a few years back. like i said tho for a full 6 months it was taking me like 2hours per inside out piece, cause i wuz taking glass shears sold from glasscraft, and slicing the points st8 down the middle, and opening them and then seaming it back together. glad to here horticulture fans can do the trick. that way i dont have to hack any more holes.
Well in all honesty im suprised at ur skill, being u got some real basic, how to turn ur flame up and down for wut application and how to wrap color , make punties etc and thats it. to teach yourself inside out flares, that some shit. looks like ur pieces still are a little bit bumpy like the color isnt molding flat with ur tubing, but shit is looking like uve done it a lot longer than u have.
i think i may have asked u this be 4..have u stetched any color rod out real thin with a punty yet, and used it to pencil images or lettering on ur pieces yet. i find this easier on the exterior, cause if u do it inside of ur flare it has to be backwards and upside down, which i fail at with style points. I love that shit, i used to make all sorts of pipes that said I love POT. or anything custom for the person. usually write it in the bowl, and leave the color wrap just to the stem and mouthpiece, then i drag my clear rod over the color but not the bowl , and when u melt everything down adn then blow the bowl out it enlarges. sure u know this ..jsut sayn how cool the look is on some1's face when they get a custom engraved personal piece.
