Trautman Art Glass Elvis Red Rod (Firsts)
The world's first self-striking ruby boro! Red Elvis is an easy striker‚ king. Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis is in the building*! TAG's vibrant Elvis Red is the king of transparent borosilicate reds, with self-striking simplicity and buttery workability! *unless we're out of stock. Then he's not. Probably off eating banana sandwiches with aliens or something.
Red Elvis strikes in an oxidizing atmosphere, at a slightly lower temperature than most rubies. Work in a neutral to oxidizing flame.

What a great color
Still the best red, but why does it keep getting darker? I've seen it go from a beautiful medium red, to what's now a rather dark red that can liver out if it spends too much time in the annealer. The light Elvis has remained constant, but the 'medium' is getting closer the the dark, or 'black' version.
