Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Marmorin - 5mm - 6mm
SKU:

Description:
This is a soft glass color rod from Effetre Moretti in the color Marmorin. It is supplied as a solid rod intended for soft glass lampworking, where it is melted in a torch flame and applied to a mandrel or to hot glass to build bead bodies and small sculptural forms. Color rods like this are commonly chosen when you want repeatable, consistent color application for beadmaking, surface decoration, and layered designs, with the rod diameter giving you good control over how quickly the glass feeds into the flame and how much material you can apply at once.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod tip slowly to prevent shock and build a small gather.
- Wind the molten glass onto a prepared mandrel to create a bead base.
- Apply additional layers to build shape, then use gravity and simple hand tools to refine the form.
- Pull stringer from a small gather for fine linework, borders, and detail.
- Anneal finished work in a kiln using a schedule appropriate for soft glass.
Dimensions:
- Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
