Description:
TAG Pink Cadillac is a colored glass rod from Trautman Art Glass designed for lampworking. It is supplied as solid rod stock that you heat in the flame and apply directly to your work for building beads, small sculptural components, and decorative surface applications. Pink Cadillac is chosen when you want a strong pink presence in your palette and a color that can be used either as a main body color or as an accent over compatible base glass. Like most colored rod, it is typically introduced gradually into the flame to avoid thermal shock, then worked once evenly heated for smooth application and clean finishes.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod slowly at the edge of the flame to prevent shocking.
- Once heated, apply gathers or wraps of color onto a bead or component as you rotate.
- Use as a base color for solid pink beads and small forms.
- Use in stringer form for striping, scrollwork, dots, and linework details.
- Melt in fully for a smooth surface finish or leave slightly raised for texture work.
