Description:

This is a transparent aqua light colored Effetre glass rod made for soft glass lampworking. It is manufactured as a straight, round rod with a consistent working diameter so it heats evenly, forms a clean gather, and can be applied smoothly to a mandrel or base form. Aqua light is a dependable transparent blue green that is often used when you want bright, water clear color in beads and small sculptural work, especially for layered designs where transparency and depth are important.

How it is used:

• Preheat the rod tip gradually in the outer flame, then bring it up to a working glow to form a gather.
• Wind molten glass onto a mandrel to create transparent bead bases, then shape and smooth while keeping the glass evenly heated.
• Pull stringers from a small gather for fine lines, scrollwork, and controlled transparent accents.
• Use as a transparent overlay on light bases for a clean tint, or over deeper blues and greens to shift the final tone while keeping clarity.
• Encase with clear to increase optical depth and keep the color looking bright and clean in finished work.

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
