Get the rose bud tip for the one you have will melt up to 2oz . Works great.

[@netcreativedesigns]

I have it. It helps but when I go to roll it out, I get cracking and chipping. The suspicion is that the I got isn’t getting hot enough so I’m going to experiment and see what happens.

[@eyefly82russellm80]

I had that issue when using the disposable oxygen tanks . Not since I bought a oxygen constructor. I believe it didn't have enough flow.

[@netcreativedesigns]

I definitely have a concentrator on my list. I know they’re an investment but saves money in the long run. As soon as I’m able, I’m definitely going to upgrade to the concentrator.

[@DawnMcReynolds]

Where do you get your small oxygen tanks? This is so great. You're right. there are no real videos for new people needing step by step basics. I appreciate your video's

[@netcreativedesigns]

I get mine at Menards but I have since upgraded. I bought a #1 oxygen tank from my local air gas store and a regulator from harbor freight. I definitely need a video about that for sure. Thanks for the support! It’s very much appreciated 😊

[@meboud1960]

That was very very informative, as well as interesting too. Thank you Brandi

[@netcreativedesigns]

Glad you enjoyed it!😊

[@teyler5432]

Thank you for the knowledge!!

[@netcreativedesigns]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching. I will have more videos coming very soon that should be just as helpful.

[@eyefly82russellm80]

I use that mold with the 2mm . You have to heat the hell out of it before you pour.

[@netcreativedesigns]

I actually had a friend suggest a brazing torch instead of the Gentec for melting. I’m going to test it out and share a video about my findings. Should be available in a few weeks time.

[@dylanhansen378]

You might want flash back arresters, and shouldn’t use vise grips on brass, adjustable wrench, but I like the video!!! I just ordered my Mx tip for melting, also cheap used oxy condenser will save you money in the long run oxygen isn’t cheap and adds up fast I got my condenser for the price of 13 oxy bottles

[@netcreativedesigns]

Flash back arrestors are definitely on the list but to be honest, I haven’t had any issues with it so far. What type of wrench would you recommend? I get most of my household tools from my late father’s toolbox that he left with me. It is cutting into the brass a little but I’d rather have it nice and tight. I understand the concentrator and would love to get one but it’s currently out of reach so I got a size 1 Oxy tank. I will have a video out about that in the near future.😊
Thank you for watching and commenting! 😊
