Help, my discs are turning yellow
I am making clear discs with Electra around the exterior. I've made these before with no problem but now the clear of the discs are coming out yellowish. I thought maybe that particular clear didn't like my propane so I tried using pale aqua instead. Some came out nice and clear....others are yellow. I assume it's the propane doing it but I don't understand why and what I can do to stop it from happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Sounds like it's fuming the clear?

It's when the silver glass "fumes" the glass around it...like a yellowing caused by the silver in the glass. Hope that makes sense! It can be a very pretty reaction if that's what you're going for. I love Ivory fumed.

Work further away from the torch head and see if that helps. I get fuming often when I made discs because I tend to sink down closer to the flame.
