From the 'duh' dept. - the shocker was how bloody hot the process is.
Take the rod, insert it into the glass, SWEET MOTHER OF GOD MY HAND IS ON FIRE! Or felt like it.
Working the glass, man it is difficult to get leverage. Like really thick honey which stays soft, soft, soft, then poof, it's too hard to work with. Oh and ya gotta keep it on the rod and not let it slough off. The heat when working the glass on the rod - not as hot as when inserting the rod into the glass, but your hand is above it for a long time. At this point it *has* cooled down.......from 2,100 to 1,400. Then it anneals at 900 for 12 hours.
