Hi Gianluca. Yes, I have seen that neon making process is a little different over in Europe. Here in the United States, I think the process is the same throughout the country but I have noticed that different benders prefer using certain torches over others. I use a 5 point crossfire for all my double backs but other benders prefer to do it with their ribbon burner. I like to make all my splices with a hand torch, while other benders like to use the crossfire for splicing. I think trying out different torches and techniques to figure out what feels best to you, to help you do your craft well, is a good approach.
