Description:
Moretti Blue Cobalt Alabaster Effetre Glass Rod is a soft glass color rod made for lampworking and beadmaking. It is produced as a solid, consistently colored rod that is designed to be heated in a torch flame and applied to a mandrel-based bead or directly to soft glass components as a working color. The alabaster formulation is valued when you want a more opaque, diffused look than a transparent blue, making it a strong choice for bold base beads, sculptural elements, and high-contrast surface decoration.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod gradually in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it up to a smooth working temperature.
- Use it as a base color by winding molten glass onto a mandrel to build a bead body.
- Apply it as an accent color for dots, stripes, and wraps, then melt in for clean edges or leave raised for texture.
- Pull stringer from a heated gather for fine linework, scrollwork, and small detail accents.
