Iaso is not like other reduction glass - you will notice that it doesn't fume the base beads.

What are your 2 oxycons set at? You will need to turn the machine on with the hoses unattached and let them warm up for 10 minutes in order to get an accurate reading. What about your propane? What psi is it at? The reason the setting matters is that if you propane/oxy split is too propane rich OR too oxy rich, you may have trouble getting the bronze colors.

The trick in bringing out the bronze Iaso is reduce multiple times using a light reduction flame. Mine isn't as small as jed's but it's small. You are putting the bead in the yellow candles so it the reduction flame is not small, you over reduce in a heart beat.
