Red
and Green keep the cones clean, Bring in the blue to keep
the flame true -Loren Stump
Glass Torch Technologies utilizes a second
oxygen valve to inject additional oxygen down the center of
the fuel gas stream on the triple mix torches. This greatly
increases the flexibility with which you can adjust the flame.
The flame can be made hotter, longer, or shorter and on the
torches with a center fire, incredibly small and sharp pointed.
Torches with four studs use two hose sets which allows you,
with the addition of a foot peddle(s), to separately control
the inside and out flames, hands free.
We were at the ISGB
with GTT. See some pics of the open torch time.

GTT
Bobcat- $195.00
Seven jet
standard surface mix torch for beadmaking and small to
medium borosilicate work. |
 |
GTT Lynx-$435
This
torch is the torch I use for all of my dichroic experiments.
The best torch on the market for use on borosilicate 33.
I've found this torch to leave the most optically clear
finished BoroArt. Don't let people fool you. It's all
about the torch! GTT triple mixes are great. -Jay Frodo
Seven jet,
triple surface mix torch.
This torch is a little powerhouse! G.T.T.'s creation of
their patented Triple Surface Mix Technology makes their
torches hotter (Getting more BTUs out of propane than
any other oxygen/propane torch on the mareket today, even
a higher BTU output than oxygen/hydrogen torches is achieved
with this technology). These torches burn cleaner, and
have more flame characteristics than any other torch on
the market today. This is the first triple surface mix
size in the line up of G.T.T.'s triple surface mix torches,
and serves as the center fire for all the larger two and
three stage G.T.T. torches. Awesome torch! |

GTT Cheeta-$550
New 12 Jet
Triple Surface Mix Torch. Similar to the Lynx, yet has
more fire power and a wider flame. Enabling one to work
much larger pieces. |
 |
GTT Phantom-$1125
I believe
the phantom is the absolute best torch on the market for
prepping BoroDichroic™. The reason is because when
you turn on the center fire and then add only the outer
oxygen valve it will inject the outer fire oxygen into
the center fire to supercharge your center fire flame
with more oxygen leaving a highly polished glass look
and super bright dichroic effects. Great torch for a production
minded artist. Very efficient, very easy to use. -Jay
Frodo
Utilizing
the Lynx 7 jet center fire system as an independent center
fire, surrounded by a 15 jet outer fire, combined together
form one extremely versatile, and very powerful unit.
Comes with standard two stud manifold.

GTT Phantom
With Split Manifold-$1200
4 Stud opposed
to 2 Stud Pricing |
 |
GTT Mirage-$1725
An amazing
torch if you have a need to do very large or small vessel
or solid sculpture work. The mirage has a very large "sweet
spot" for working dichroic glass that is easy to
find. -Jay Frodo
Using the
Lynx 7 jet triple surface mix center fire system as an
independent center fire, surrounded by a 35 jet triple
surface mix outer fire. Produces a 1-7/8" wide flame
for small, medium and large work. Comes with split manifold
and rack and pinion stand. The Mirage is an extremely
powerful torch; designed for the most demanding of lampwork
projects. |

GTT Delta
Elite-$2325
This
is the first torch I bought from Willy and Wally back
in 1998 when I was living out in Oregon. I was involved
in high-end inside out production with dichroic. Their
torches increased our production speed and brought our
quality so high we were always backordered. To this day,
that particular line lives on with other artists. GTT
truly made glass exciting again. If you can scrape the
funds for this torch, do it!
Using the
Lynx 7 jet triple surface mix center fire system as an
independent center fire, surrounded by a 51 jet triple
surface mix outer fire. Comes with split manifold and
rack and pinion stand. |

GTT-Python
See pictures
from this torch in action at the Glass Works
Park demo post Glass Art Society Conference 2003. |

New torches to GTT include the Delta
Mag (a slightly bigger then the Delta Elite model but not
as big as the python), the Cobra (a lynx center fire, mirage
second ring, and 90 jet outer fire), triple mix GTT Hand
Torch (small triple) |
