It works great. Turned out better than I envisaged when I started.
And the colour of course, had to be BLUE!!! No reds, yellows and greens round here brother.

Still experimenting with the cap, straight, 2.5pps, 50pps, 100pps. Still haven't got the excellent outcome yet. May actually be time to learn to walk the cup. Definitely need a better torch support system otherwise.

Rigged up a torch holder and had a play. All good, I'll try pulsing next.
