Description
VST Orange/Yellow Sparkle Tubing is a 33 COE borosilicate glass tubing constructed with a vibrant orange-to-yellow color gradient infused with sparkle effect particles throughout the glass matrix. This tubing is engineered for lampworking applications where color vibrancy and decorative surface effects are desired. The sparkle effect is achieved through metallic particles suspended within the borosilicate composition, creating a shimmering, light-reflective quality when heated and worked. The tubing's consistent wall thickness and diameter make it suitable for both artistic bead-making and scientific glassblowing projects. Each piece is hand-selected and inspected before shipment to ensure quality and structural integrity.
How it is used
- Heat the tubing evenly in the flame of a lampworking torch, rotating it constantly to prevent uneven heating and thermal shock
- Once softened to a workable temperature, the tubing can be shaped, stretched, or fused with other glass elements
- Use the sparkle effect as a decorative accent in bead designs, sculptural forms, or as a striking visual element in scientific glass apparatus
- The tubing can be cut to desired lengths using a glass cutter or by scoring and breaking
- Anneal finished pieces in a kiln to relieve internal stress and ensure durability
- Combine with complementary colors or clear glass for contrast and design complexity
