	How to: Set heater to Gradual. Don't worry about the lip and the neck. I've achieved 8.2k with this procedure: Push into the Glory Hole 11 ticks. Turn constantly. Immediately after reaching 11 ticks, begin blowing. While it heats, do at least 5 blows, to expand the center. Move the pipe two ticks in, to let the front heat a bit. Thereafter move the pipe four ticks out, to let the back heat a bit. Pull all the way out. When out, blow until it has the right size.		How to: Set heater to Gradual.

		+	McArines comments: I can recommend the following:
		+	* Experimenting with finding out where the pipe should be positioned at 11 ticks, and just holding down A to push it to that location.
		+	* Blow 6 times instead of 5.
		+	* After two ticks in, give it one more in, and let it heat one tick, and then 5 out.
		+	This gave me a higher percentage of +8k.

 Now turn it another 360, when turning the pipe, it doesn't do exactly 360, but a bit less. That means the maximum quality might be 5x360 away.
 Keep turning 360 until the quality drops, then go back to the maximum value quality.

 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.
