Remove all components from kit and packaging. Place heat resistant work surface on
counter or table top. Place all tools on work surface for easy access. Keep a fire
extiguisher handy in your work area for emergency purposes.
Prepare mandrels by quickly dipping them into mandrel
release, 2"-3" deep and twirl out to insure a thin, clean, even
coating. Secure upright and allow to air dry 15-20 minutes or
dry mandrels slowly in the flame. Mandrel are dry when they
turn a light gray. Mandrel release must dry completely before
use.
Before attaching torch head to the MAPP Gas tank; make
sure valve is completely closed by turning it clockwise. Next,
screw threaded opening onto the tank. Secure the tank to the
edge of table or counter top, using the enclosed bottle holder
attachment. Wrap bottle band around MAPP tank and insert
"L" bracket between the tank and the band. Using a screwdriver,
tighten the locking screw until snug. Position tank so one
arm of the "L" bracket is on the table top, secure to the table
using the "C" clamp (Fig. 1). The torch head should be directed
away from you.
The source of heat is the MAPP Gas tank and torch head.
Ignite torch by turning the control valve at the rear of torch
head slowly counter clockwise, releasing gas. When you hear
a slight hissing sound, gently squeeze trigger. Adjust flame
height with the control valve knob, providing a "blue" flame
length of 1" and adjust the airflow opening to regulate gas to
air mix. Turn off torch by turning control valve clockwise, until
flame is exhausted. Do not attempt to handle torch head until
it has sufficiently cooled down.
Basic Bead Technique
Begin by warming a glass rod in the flame. (Fig. 2) NOTE:
Wear safety glasses. Starting 3"-4" from flame, gradually
bring the tip of the glass towards the blue flame. Work glass
in flame until a hot molten ball forms. In your second hand,
warm your coated mandrel using the same procedure used
to warm the glass rod. (Fig. 3) When molten and glowing,
wrap glass evenly around heated mandrel. While rolling the
mandrel away from you, drape glass on mandrel from the top
