Quartz Glassblowing
Very different from any other glass as it takes more heat and constant heat to weld,shape and bend. different tooling as well oxygen\hydrogen are the best gases for this.
After making a part it can be flame annealed witch helps keep the part from cracking. but all parts should be annealed in a kiln at 2180 F time in dwell about 20 min
even this may vary due to part size shape thickness. Any questions on it i would be happy to answer. Will make some basic step later when i have more time like bending, welding
polishing ect.
