Sounds like you've already figured out what the problem was but figured I'd chime in anyways since I work on a HH as well. I have my bulk tank turned on all the way but my torch is low. Once I've lit my torch I turn the knob so my flame almost goes out and then I gently open it up a bit further. This has worked well for me. As well as working further away from the blue cone than what most of the books say. I agree with Christy in that you have to be at least an inch out from the tip of the cone. Anyways, glad to read your making colourful beads now. Happy torching!!
