Item Name:
Moretti Black Intense Effetre Glass Stringer (2mm - 3mm)
SKU:
1558066
Description:
Moretti Black Intense is a 104 COE Effetre glass stringer with a diameter of 2-3mm, made by drawing colored glass into a thin rod form. Stringers are thinner than standard rods and are ideal for fine linework, detailed surface decoration, and precise color placement in lampworking. The intense black color is opaque and creates strong contrast, making it perfect for high-definition designs, outlining, and creating crisp patterns that hold their definition when properly worked and encased.
How it is used:
- Heat the stringer evenly in the flame to prevent cracking and ensure smooth application.
- Use for fine linework and detailed decorative work on beads, vessels, and sculptural pieces.
- Apply as outline work to define edges and create high-contrast designs.
- Melt the stringer into the base glass carefully to avoid thermal shock and maintain pattern clarity.
- Combine with other 104 COE stringers for complex multi-line designs and layered detail work.
- Encase with clear 104 COE glass to preserve crisp edges and prevent color muddying.
