Description:

Double Helix Elpis Rod is a 104 COE soft glass rod produced by Double Helix Glass. Elpis is a chrome-free green reducing glass that is resistant to over reducing. The glass transmits a spring green color and is formulated to handle heavy reduction without becoming muddy or losing its character. This glass is the same as the popular test batch PX-772 from the current year's online ISGB Gathering.

How it is used:

This rod is used in soft glass lampworking when you want a reliable green glass that responds well to reduction flame chemistry. Because it is resistant to over reducing, it is forgiving for both experienced and developing glassblowers who work with reduction techniques. Use this glass for beads, sculptural elements, and other 104 COE components where you want a dependable green that maintains its clarity and spring tone even under heavy reduction. The chrome-free formulation makes it a safer choice for glassblowers concerned about chromium exposure.
