its hard to see - u have to look at it in sunlight
if it sparkles then its a crack
if not then its a a bad weld that wasnt fully melted thru so there is a "wrinkle"
this makes allot of sense - if you have a simple hairline crack or a chipped piece u can go with this option to fix it yourself - i know some artists don't want to touch other peoples work out of respect so it can be hard to find sum1 to do repairs ( not everyone is a whore like me =P )
This piece looks like its imported - only because of the way it was put together - cheap parts - not bridged and short stem -
having said that - judging by the seal - it looks 1/2 way decent im not sure about for $120 as you can get a comparable tube w/ better build quality elsewhere
yea that stuff soaks into your bones - nasty indeed.
scientific shops use it to wash the glass free of contaminants. i have had some luck using HCL hydrachoric acid - its not as strong or dangerous - but also not as effective.
SYN uses sugar based decals so they come off easier - in fact if you have a syn tube and the sticker comes off - u can contact them for a replacement sticker and they will hook u up.
other decals like ROOR or Sheldon use Lead based stickers
those are also what we use here - they WILL not come...
yea because you have to spin the glass by hand or on a lathe - round makes the most sense.
u can still work w/ square boro - but it just takes more time = more cost
I would say quality glass is worth the wait.
if you can't find the glass you want instock - try ordering it and wait for it. it will be worth it
dont rush a purchase and compromise your selection because you can get something quicker.

there is a difference between imitation and replication
what all the brands here do is imitate each other you make a 8 tree perc i'll make a 9 tree perc etc
what importers do is they replicate/counterfeit styles like a RooR for example
now even i make a 18" 50x5 beaker - but i dont add the...
Steele - the problem with the matrix is that the tubing it is made w/ needs to be a thin wall tubing so i am limited by the sizes that are available - for now the largest thin wall i have is 32x2.2 which is what i am using
it would look really small in a 75x5 can- i can make it regardless but...
the 12 tree is a bit dated a more fragile than the rest for sure.
