Item Name:
Asian 50mm Blue Green Tubing
SKU:
ACT-BGTC50
Description:
Asian-made borosilicate color tubing in a blue green 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. Blue green is commonly chosen when you want a saturated color that sits between blue and green, giving a strong, cool-toned presence that pairs well with clear, white, and many transparent accents for clean contrast and layered color work.
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 50mm diameter is well-suited for very large hollow bodies where you want maximum starting volume and a bold, uninterrupted color surface, such as oversized vessels and large sculptural components. Blue green 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.
