A lot of us are not at that level of dialogue. However, there are some around who know quite a bit. Perhaps they will see this.

They have lots of folks who work with different glasses or equipment, might be able to help you.
But don't anticipate problems. That can make people uninterested in helping you. Just say you are looking for some advice in torch or glass development, and let them talk with you and gauge for themselves what they think of your experience or ideas. Remember if they are engaging in your projects that there might be a concern about liability.
Good luck
