Torch Extinguishing for Glass Beads

Video Transcript

"All right, now we're coming to the point where we're ending our torching session and we're going to want to shut off the torch. Remember, when you turn on the torch to do propane oxygen, it's the reverse order when you shut off the torch. So you shut off your oxygen line first, so you bring your oxygen down and you're left with the propane flame. Then you want to turn your propane down until it's all the way off. Now that both valves of the torch are off you want to come to your regulators and shut off the regulators. So you would twist your oxygen regulator until it goes down to zero, and twist your propane regulator until it goes down to zero. Then what you want to do is you want to make sure that you bleed the lines, you don't want any oxygen, or any propane, stored in the lines. So you'll hear the oxygen hiss out as it leaves, and you'll also hear the same thing as the propane. During this time you also want to leave your ventilation on, so that you make sure that the oxygen and the propane that you're releasing into the atmosphere is taken out of your studio and away from your workspace. Remember when you turn the torch on you want propane, and then oxygen, when you turn it off oxygen, and then propane."
