SKU:
CT-YELLOWRED
Description:
Yellow/Maroon Striped Tubing is American-made hand-pulled borosilicate glass tubing featuring alternating stripes of bright yellow and deep maroon red with subtle gray accents throughout. This 33 COE borosilicate tubing is engineered for lampworking, beadmaking, and scientific glassblowing applications where color variation and visual interest are desired. The tubing is constructed through a hand-pulling process that creates consistent striping patterns while maintaining the thermal properties required for high-temperature glassworking. Each piece is approximately 25 millimeters in outer diameter and 4 millimeters in wall thickness, providing excellent workability for both decorative and functional applications. The tubing is sold by weight, with pieces averaging 20 to 22 inches in length per pound. The hand-pulled construction ensures that each piece exhibits unique color distribution and striping, making every section of tubing distinct. This product is ideal for creating striped beads, decorative vessels, scientific glassware, and any lampworking project where bold color contrast enhances the final design.
Please note that not every piece of tubing weighs exactly 1 lb. Customers will be billed for the actual weight of the tubing shipped. Please make sure that the contact information on your account is up to date or leave a note on your order to let us know if you would prefer a piece that is more or less than you ordered.
How it is used:
- Heat the tubing in a lampworking torch flame to working temperature
- Use the tubing as a primary material for creating striped beads by wrapping around a mandrel
- Combine with other glass colors to create complex decorative patterns and designs
- Stretch and shape the heated tubing to form vessels, tubes, or scientific apparatus
- Fuse the tubing with other glass elements to create layered color effects
- Cool finished pieces slowly in a kiln to prevent thermal shock and cracking
- Polish or flame-finish the completed work as desired
Dimensions:
- Approximately 25mm outer diameter
