As for making thicker stringers; it is really really good practice at heat control and it is possible to make stringer as thick as you want.

You will find different glass colors and opaque versus transparent will have different melting characteristics.

Learning a lot of it now on a hothead will prevent scorching the glass.

Remember that the yellow glare that the eye glasses filter out is actually sodium burning off so an hour in the flame, even a hot head, is going to change the chemistry of the glass and it will change stiffness and color.

I love this addiction.
