MCVD Tip: Identify the Optimum H2/O2 Level to Help Achieve Straight Preforms

Do you have difficulty achieving straight preforms? This is definitely an art and requires some practice. I have found procedures that deliver a reproducible technique. For example, setting the optimum H2/O2 ratio can prevent preform sagging and glass burn-off during collapse, which leads to variability later in the process.
