Item Name:
Experimental Green Crushed Opal Encased Tubing

AG-EXPGREEN
Description:
Experimental Green Crushed Opal Encased Tubing is a color tubing option built with a crushed opal color layer that is fully encased in clear glass. The encasement protects the color and gives you a smooth, consistent outer surface that stays clean on the punty, in the flame, and on the bench. This style of construction is favored when you want the visual depth and sparkle of opal effects while keeping the working surface stable and less prone to scumming during normal tubing work.
How it is used:
This tubing is used the same way you would use other color tubing in lampworking for hollow work. It is commonly chosen for making sections of tubing-based builds where you want the crushed opal look to read with depth, such as sleeves, accents, and feature sections that will be stretched, shaped, or joined into a larger assembly. In practice, you work it with steady heat control, keep your heat even around the circumference, and treat it like an encased color tubing when doing seals and transitions so the outer clear stays smooth and the visual layer remains crisp.
