hey guys I'm Thomas grim it and I make

00:06

the color here at glass alchemy today I

00:08

want to talk to you about a neutral

00:09

flame a neutral flame will keep your

00:11

colors nice and poppin it'll also help

00:14

your greens and sparkles from cracking

00:15

we get a lot of questions here about

00:18

working with color on a daily basis to

00:20

us here at GA a neutral flame refers to

00:23

a balanced mixture of propane and oxygen

00:25

and as the flame you recommend you

00:27

working all right we're all ready to go

00:31

I'm gonna show you how to set a neutral

00:33

flame using Amazon nine nine eighty

00:35

seven this is a good color to use for

00:38

this test because of the time Edel

00:40

content if the flame is reducing

00:43

amazonite will show us almost instantly

00:46

alright so I got the torch on and I've

00:48

got what looks to be a nice working

00:50

flame I'm gonna stick the rod into the

00:53

torch and just heat it up to a nice

00:55

orange glow not fully melted so that the

00:59
flame is neutral the rod will not change

01:01

color but as we can see I have some

01:03

reduction which means I am not working

01:05

neutral now I'm going to turn my propane

01:07

knob down a quarter turn and try the

01:09

test again the rod stayed black which

01:13

means I found the neutral zone it's

01:15

important to realize that no flame will

01:17

ever be neutral from the base to the tip

01:19

and each torch has a different neutral

01:22

zone

01:22

the area closest to the torch space

01:25

tends to be reducing so don't work too

01:28

close when properly set the middle

01:30

section is neutral and is the ideal

01:32

flame for working color
