Hi! I saw your posts, that's some really nice fuming patterns! I was hoping to get the purples and yellows that were shown in the last picture I posted. So far, I've only been able to get the electric blues.

Noted, thank you! I've read around some people suggesting I use an oxidizing flame, and others recommending a reducing flame. I've only been using an oxidizing flame so far. Also, I like how we're resorting to colors like "caramel yellow" and "piss yellow"
