"In this step we are going to add our jade to or rad that already has the blue moon on it and we will take up the rest of the clear space so there will no clear space where we are making the design on the rad. We are going to light it up. You see we are going to eliminate all the clear space where I am going to show you how to make the design for this one. See now I usually stick around here and it is a little bit harder to get the color to go on but we want it to cover a larger area so we are putting it on pretty thick. We are going on our third stripe here and so basically we let the glass get a little bit hotter here to avoid that break and that is pretty much what happened as I was pushing down I hadn't heated the glass enough at the contact point for it to slide so it just kind of gave way on me. Alrighty and there is our fourth stripe and we will get a nice overall as we heat everything up. Alright now we have both of our colors on there and that looks about right, taking up all the space."
