Default Glass Bracelets

Is a Baracuda enough torch to make boro bracelets? If so, I need practice for sure. First one is "free form" for sure.

Yes the Cuda is plenty hot! If you have a bracelet mandrel, it makes it easier.
I have one clamped to my bench and it's easy to get the glass molten and shape around it. Have fun!

Thank you for the reply. I have a mandrel on my bench. The first bracelet was "free form" to say the least. I must practice!!! I have 2 concentrators, but the flame is inconsistent I think because I don't have the cylinders. Maybe I need to use tanks?

Maybe, but I used two concentrator a for a long time and had good results. Have you tried slowing down your rotation so the heat can penetrate more?
