Well ordered up a set of the Paige Torch tips. First impression they quality and built really well. Just put on a m-1 and a m-2. I can see initially the m-2 will probably be my go to at least to start. Am going to make something later so will put them to a good test. The pics of the flame is fuzzy but in real pretty sharp. Here's the set. 6 tips, adapter, and a tip holder.I   M-1 tip  M-2 tip  |

Thank you for the show. In glass blowing with propane/oxy we used what we called piloted tips. They look very similar. I am wondering if I can use them? Not that I probably will. It would be easier to buy new ones than dig the old ones out. Looking to forward to the rest of the review. I see you got the whole kit, too, including the stand.

I agree! But I'm curious how the epoxy on the doublet let go. Any thoughts on that Billy toiv0? |

Cab not cleaned properly and not being roughed a little. This doublet was handled a lot and traveled for ever in my tool box. It survived taking it in and out of the bezel a bunch of times while fabricating the ring. The last time when the ring was ready I picked it up and it just fell apart He epoxy was stuck good on the backing which was sodalite. |

Initial thought is great quality and performance and a good purchase. Will know more as I use them more and update this thread. In the punt. I took the holographic vinyl and submerged in water then dried it. Now I am a little worried the uv rays will lighten it. I guess another test is in order. |
