New mold
got out to ypsi 9:15 a.m... b. already there,glory hole ripping hot....
first piece was solid white interior,picked up aqua shards from last weeks failure (lol) blew into newer,tall hex mold = kick ass !
2nd piece i alternated iris gold,then white,hmmm maybe four times on seed bubble;clear gather over that..it got a little out of hand,was stretching out fast so i bailed into new octo-mold and blew out - it picked up the shape real well and had terrific height - about 9 inches. b. did an awesome punty and it broke clean off on the neck.. in freaking business ! flared the lip about 2 inches and took it to box...it may have been a little thin..i thought i saw (heard) cracks forming when i knocked it off ... ]:-P FOCK ! it was still together later,so, knock on wood..
last piece (b. had split) i did the same, but tried to pick up iris gold on lip to reduce as a gold band - that may have worked.
all in all a pretty good day in the hot shop !
