Request of glass tubing diameter 8mm

Out of curiousity, do you have to suck a partial vacuum on these things?
8 mm is about 1/3 inch, which would seem the right size for the stem, but
the bulbs are 60-80 mm, ten times as big - so do you blow the tubing out to
that big? Obviously, once the bulb is big, it has to be opened if closed,
the whirly installed, and then closed, vacuumed if necessary, sealed and
decorated on top. Right?
In fact, as logic dictates and the ones with colored globes make clear,
the wire that supports the whirly blocks the stem, so the bulb is blown
separately, opened, the whirly inserted, and the bulb necked down and fitted
to the stem, then evacuated through the blow tubing.

and if you move the decimal point?? kinda makes it 9,0 or 9,6 (by

European

terminology. ) the actual number has additional numbers attached x 10
(minus7) in our case , 96 x 10 (minus7) and I'm not sure here, x 10

(minus8

or 6) to move the decimal point over, but it is the same number....
Potters use the 9.0 alot instead of 90.


You'd a thought some hotshot website publisher woulda caught that one.



You'd thought a person using the odd system would know what is used by the
majority of the people on the newsgroup. Besides, those other choices are
covered by the "or ..."
A quick Google of glazes and expansions seems to indicate that they use
any numbers from .33 to 330 with various exponents and glazes seem to calc
out to about 7 x 10^-6 or there abouts.


I think it's just the Javahut/Moonraker b-team trying to prevent anyone
(especially hot glass folks, extra especially you) from posting on this
NG. They're mostly successful; I was shocked, stunned and amazed when I
saw that there were 9 posts this morning. Fabulous!

Need to work on your self esteem, not everyone is picking on anyone, it was
a simple math problem and a difference in how it is written.

I wouldn't want to prevent anyone form doing anything, I actually fought for
YOUR right to be free, and I am proud of it.

I really enjoy the newsgroup and differing opinions, and I have no idea
where you get the statement you made about hot glass people.

I am a glass blower also, and on the occasions when I have time I have a
very nice and comfortable torch set up that I like to play with also. I
just make my living with flat glass, that's all.

Were you trying to pick on me?

By the way, thanks for the "top billing"

Why don't you go make yerself a dildo outa some of that hot glass?

Sorry I included you in my annoyance with Moonraker's tendency to pick
on folks who aren't him... I guess I jumped to a wrong conclusion, there.

The coe numbers in the UK and Europe are frequently to a higher power of
ten. Thus 9.6 UK equal 96 US. I ran into this with Plowden & Thompson in
UK for bead making glass.
