the caramel and the chameleon have a lot of "fumy" in them. it burns off as i melt it all in. so technically it is getting fumed; just by the color itself, not by me. it's a really cool techniques that i love doing, i'm just having problems with it cracking a lot. i have a few things i will try, to get it to stop. :mrgreen::peace:

Is it possible to make a "tube" out of glass that swirls around like a crazy straw. I've always wondered why no one makes those.

How do you torchwork pipes? I thought torchwork was used for smaller scale glass work? are you using the torches they sell at Home Depot that are like the cheap $30 ones (you can use those!) or are you using an Oxygen/Propane style torch?

my stem got a little stretched out. i like the shaping on the can but it is a little sloppy. it hits nice and is comfortable to hold though. :mrgreen:
