I am just recently getting into glass working and I want to get some more experienced opinions on something before I try it. I am thinking about purchasing a graphite hemisphere mold that I can carefully stack full of glass and additions and then blast it all with a torch till mixed.

This whole process goes extremely well in my highly cooperative imagination. But in your experience, is there anything I should know about how its actually going to go before I try? And if it will work, what kind of set up would you recommend to get me running?
