How to: Set heater to Gradual. Turn constantly. Don't worry about the bottom or the tip, +8k can be achieved with this procedure: Push into the Glory Hole one tick at a time, letting the rod heat all the way in. When the rod is fully heated, either let it stay, or pull it all the way back out, by holding down S. Let the rod cool a bit, until colour seems the same the entire length of the rod. Blow with pauses between each blow, at least 4 times, maybe a fifth, depending on the resulting size.

Beaker

Requires: 1 Glass Pipe

How to: Set heater to Gradual. Turn constantly. Don't worry about the lib. +9k can be achieved with this procedure: Push into the Glory Hole one tick at a time, letting the rod heat all the way in. When the rod is fully heated, blow three times, then pull the rod back out, making sure that all of the rod is heated, this should not take more than two ticks. When fully out, begin blowing the Beaker to full size. Keep turning it while constantly checking the quality. When you get to q8,5k, begin comparing to the result, to see if it needs another blow or two.


Test Tube

Requires: 1 Glass Rod

How to: Set heater to Gradual. Turn constantly. Don't worry about the bottom or the tip, +8k can be achieved with this procedure: Push into the Glory Hole one tick at a time, letting the rod heat all the way in. When the rod is fully heated, either let it stay, or pull it all the way back out, by holding down S. Let the rod cool a bit, until colour seems the same the entire length of the rod. Blow with pauses between each blow, at least 4 times, maybe a fifth, depending on the resulting size.

Thistle Tube

Requires: 1 Glass Pipe

How to: Set heater to Pinpoint. Turn constantly. You want to try to make both the bottom and the bulb. Begin by heating the bottom, blow a couple of times, move the pipe in to heat the bulb. I set my window up, so I can place the chat window, in the right distance to the glory hole, so the end of the pipe just shows, when you should not move it further in. That way you don't have to check the goal to determine if you're far enough into the glory hole. After this it is practice, practice, practice, until you get some good results. But this should at least give you some good advice.
