 As a newbie on the Glory Hole, trying this for my first time, I was a little intimitated by all the different instructions.  I wanted to add my perspective.

I <b>B</b>low the glass with about 2 seconds between each blow, while rotating the glass.
-*Now the tricky part.  Keep hitting M (every 1 second) with one hand, while hitting Q (Quality Check) with other hand over and over, (hit Q repeatedly over and over, very fast).  As soon as you see the quality number at 3500 or above, quickly hit the U (Unload Project) with other hand as fast as possible. <b>I can't stress this point out enough</b>.  Once the quality is above 3500, you have to hit the U key (Unload) as quickly as possible.  Just a one second delay (to Unload) can make 6000 quality go down to 500-2000 quality (unusable/loss of materials).  So I'm sure you will get the glass part (the rotating with M button and pushing B 4 times) down on first couple of tries like I did.  The trick to whether your thermometer is above 3500 and not fail, is how fast you can hit the U key, after hitting the Quality check (Q) key and seeing a 3500+ quality.  I was hitting 6000 quality easily and never done it before.  The most important thing I learned after my first two failures, is that I only failed because I waited two seconds to (U)nload it after I saw my quality above 3500.  If I had slammed the (U)nload button 1 second faster, I would not have failed ANY thermometers :)  If you fail, you lose your ingredients.  So I recommend trying this with two hands.  Use one hand for M and B, use other hand dedicated to slapping the Q (Quality) repeatedly.  I've seen it move from 424 quality to 5000 quality in literally one second and vice versa.

 WARNING: The Push and Pull hotkeys are reversed on the menu from the way they actually operate. A is push (into the GH), S is pull (out of the GH). Also, like all buildings with hotkeys, your mouse cursor must be touching the actual building in order for the hotkeys to register.
 Note: No fuel is required for the Glory Hole (No CC, Wood, etc)
