Ah, Slyme. Ectoplasmic! One
of the most unusual colors in the boro palette, Slyme can range
from transparent to translucent to a milky semi-opaque, depending on how
you work it. Work
cooler to keep Slyme more opaque, with a soft reducing flame. This also
prevents reboil and scumming. Goes transparent under higher heat, but
can develop a ghostly milky green haze. Slyme is known to have a
slightly higher COE, so but works in nearly any application.
Especially
at the start, you will want to USE A REDUCING FLAME WITH SLYME for best
results! You can switch to a bushy neutral flame once it is up to temp.
If you are getting scum or boil, check your oxy regulator and consider
lowering the pressure at the tank. Slyme tends to prefer a lower ratio
of oxy to propane than nearly any other color you will use.
