Item Name:
Replacement Graphite 4" x 6"

Description:
This replacement graphite block is a solid graphite plate cut to a 4 inch by 6 inch working face with a 3/8 inch thickness. Graphite is widely used in lampworking and glassblowing because it withstands direct flame and repeated heating cycles while remaining stable and easy to machine. The surface naturally resists molten glass sticking, which makes it a reliable material for shaping and supporting hot glass without leaving metal marks or pulling heat too aggressively. A plate in this size is commonly used as a replaceable wear surface on existing tools or as stock for making custom bench tools where a larger, flatter working area is helpful for forming and truing components.
How it is used:
- Used as a replaceable graphite wear surface on lampworking and glassblowing tools
- Used as a larger marvering surface for straightening, smoothing, and truing hot glass
- Machined or shaped into custom forming tools such as paddles, presses, and flat blocks
- Used as a heat-tolerant support surface when assembling or aligning components while hot
- Used for shaping operations where a non-sticking surface is required over a broader area
