Description:

Moretti Black Intense is an Effetre soft glass rod color known for producing a dense, saturated black in 104 COE work. It is manufactured as solid glass rod stock in the 4–5 mm diameter range, making it a comfortable size for most beadmaking and small flameworking applications. This is a staple “true black” style color used when you need strong contrast, crisp linework, and reliable coverage in encasing, stringer detail, or as a base for bold designs.

How it is used:

• Melt the rod directly in a neutral to slightly oxidizing flame to form gathers for beads, small sculptural parts, and components.
• Pull into stringer for fine black linework, outlines, scrollwork, and graphic patterning.
• Use as a base bead color to make bright opaques and transparents pop with high contrast.
• Apply as dots and trails for polka dots, zebra striping, and other high-contrast surface decoration.

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 4mm – 5mm
