Description:

Moretti Kiwi Cool Rod is a colored soft-glass rod used for lampworking and beadmaking when you want a clean, consistent “kiwi” green in your work. It is manufactured as a solid glass rod that you introduce into a torch flame, then melt and shape into beads, small sculptural components, or applied decoration. This style of rod is commonly used for pulling stringer, building up encasable color layers, and adding opaque or semi-opaque green accents depending on how you work it and what you pair it with.

How it is used:

• Preheat the tip of the rod in the far flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it gradually into the working flame.
• Wind molten glass onto a mandrel to form beads, or gather and shape directly for small components.
• Pull stringer from a small gather to create fine linework, scrollwork, and detail.
• Use as an accent color for dots, stripes, and overlays on compatible soft-glass bases.

Dimensions:

• Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
