I am a lampworker and am wondering if this torch can be used for making glass beads?

The flame of this particular torch is fairly broad. Seems like most glass burners generate more of a pencil flame. But if a broad flame will work for making beads, and the glass you are using is soda-lime, you're probably in luck.

I use the one I purchased for making silver & crystal pendants as the slightly broader flame can heat my piece more evenly with it's broader flame. The only times I used it on glass, the glass would crack if it was over about 4mm, both as was heating it and as it was cooling. Hope this helps

I honestly don't know but you may be trying to create something this powerful little torch can't be. If you saw this in a convenience store you wlld'nt hesitate to buy it, trust me.

This is NOT the proper type of torch for soldering...Unless you are talking about sweating copper pipe, then the tip that is on it is fine.

To heat metals to make them red, yes. To heat glass to melt , not these torch. Good for dabs and nails.

I use mine for creme brûlée with no problems. However, I use a very small chef's torch.

Looking at the instructions, I think if you go beyond G8 120V 50W you can burn up the lamp or break the glass covering. I really produces a very bright light and because of the arm swing you can really concentrate the illumination.

no. For torch use there is a knob that rotates the LED bulb assembly so it can be used as a flashlight (the flashlight lens is the bulb you see on top)

This did not work on my lamps as there was no metal for it to come in contact with. This question IS very vague, this part has nothing to do with the glass on a lamp.

Yes, but the glass will not glow like embers and typically isn't mixed with logs. The glass is high heat tolerant and is fine with natural gass or propane.

No, you have to run it with a soldering tip. It i awesome for a soldering iron though. I don't recommend a butane torch if you plan on using it for plumbing or anything that requires a lot of heat, they usually won't get that hot.

Yes, that is what it is intended to use. This torch can use a mapp style gas or propane. Very good product. The only caution I have found is that if you dial back the gas flow it can overheat the tip/lighting mechanism. This torch is meant to be used in a "full" on heat setting only.

Don't think you can interchange the tips this particular torch is made for sweating pipe and other things that require a high temperature

I'm sorry I'm not able to help you out on this. We bought the fire glass for an outside fire pit and did not buy enough to use. We have since sold the fire pit and gave them the fire glass in case they wanted to purchase more for their use in the pit. I think you may be able to look this up on-line and look for a description of the fire glass. I would hope they give a directions on where fire glass could be used. Once again, sorry I couldn't be of help.

This is a torch designed for little Jobs. Perhaps enouht for jewelery or solderig 1/4" copper tuve, not biger Works.

The trigger allows the gas to flow; so, my guess would be yes you could in a pinch. I strongly agree with Kieth. Don't use a malfunctioning torch! Also, you could call Bernz O Matic at 1-800-654-9011 and ask them.

Absolutely! It makes a great creme brulee torch or for blistering the skin off of chiles.

I did some jewelry making with silver solder before in school, but we used torches, not a solder gun. We used natural gas torches, but you could do it with a propane one. I think you would have a better time if you bought a torch and some other equipment to do this kind of work. Don't forget your protective gear too! (faceshield, ventilation, etc)
