Lloyd,

I ditto everything Maui just said and you can do it on one concentrator no problem-I have a betta and one concentrator and I can get gorgeous pinks/purples from my encased AP and DAP.

Thanks to Brent's (Mr. Smiley) instruction. I took a class but I also bought his video which is totally worth every penny. You can visually see how he burns the haze off (which is really important) then heats the heck out of it and keeps it there for a pretty long time, then cools it down a bit-- after that, he reintroduces it in the flame slightly and there is your strike. I didn't realize how long you needed to keep it white hot until I actually saw him do it! (I do this to the glass before I construct my piece as to not worry about slumping it.)

Good Luck!
Lisa
