Item Name:
Asian 44mm Pink Tubing
SKU:
ACT-PTC44
Description:
Asian-made borosilicate color tubing in a pink formulation, produced as a consistent, machine-drawn tube that provides a uniform hollow starting point for flameworking. Color tubing is used when you want continuous color coverage and a predictable wall without having to build a hollow form from solid rod, which saves time and helps keep wall thickness even as you inflate and shape. Pink tubing is commonly chosen when you want a bright, readable color field in larger work, giving strong visual presence and contrast against clear, white, and darker colors while still being versatile for overlays and assembled components.
How it is used:
This tubing is used as a hollow blank for lampworking. A typical workflow is to cut a section, fire-polish the ends, and then either seal one end to form a bubble or attach a handle or blow tube so the tube can be evenly heated and inflated. The 44mm diameter is well-suited for larger hollow bodies such as vessels, jars, and sculptural components where you want substantial volume and a bold, uninterrupted color surface. Pink tubing is also useful for strong color bands, collars, and accent sections, and it can be stretched and necked down to create transitions while maintaining even color distribution through the forming process.
