Hey everyone so I got myself a new rig not too long ago and to me it seems like the nail is dangerously close to the glass, like it could damage it or crack it or something. What do you guys think? Just a little bit of a poor design or what? Thanks. -Me
Just dont point the torch on the glass, borosilicate can take a lot of heat. I blow some glass, here is my torch. View attachment 1728685 View attachment 1716446
Like snoop said, don't aim the flame on the rig itself. If anything, worry about getting the nail to hot and transferring heat onto the joint.
you are ok where you have it. as others have said don't hit the glass directly with the flame of your torch.
