Item Name:
Asian 12mm Opaque Pink Tubing
SKU:
ACT-OPPTC12
Description:
Asian 12mm Opaque Pink Tubing is opaque pink color glass tubing made in China and supplied as straight tubing intended for flameworking and lampworking. It is produced as a consistent hollow tube so you can build hollow work directly from colored stock instead of sleeving clear or applying color later. Opaque pink is used when you want solid, non-transparent color coverage that reads clearly in the finished piece, especially in forms where wall thickness and internal shadows can make transparent colors look uneven.
How it is used:
This tubing is used as starting material for hollow lampworked forms such as small vessels, tubing-based pendants, blown components, and any section where you want the color to be integral to the body of the work. The tube is typically cut into manageable lengths, heated evenly while rotating to maintain straightness, then shaped by pulling points, flaring openings, necking down, sealing ends, and blowing or expanding as the design requires. It is also useful for building colored collars and transition sections in multi-part assemblies when you want a clean, uninterrupted opaque pink segment.
