Item Name:
Moretti Effetre Rod - Transparent Pale Aqua - 4mm - 7mm
SKU:
1556038
Description:
This is a transparent aqua pale colored Effetre glass rod made for soft glass lampworking. It is manufactured as a straight, round rod so it heats evenly and can be gathered, stretched, and applied with good control at the torch. Aqua pale is a useful choice when you want a light, clean blue green tone that stays transparent, making it a strong option for airy bead bases, subtle overlays, and layered color work where you want depth without adding opacity.
How it is used:
- Warm the rod gradually in the outer flame, then bring it up to a working glow to begin a gather.
- Wind molten glass onto a mandrel to build transparent bead bases, then shape and smooth with steady heat.
- Pull stringers from a small gather for fine lines, scrollwork, and controlled transparent color accents.
- Layer over white or very light opaque cores for a soft watery tint, or over darker blues and greens to shift the tone while keeping transparency.
- Use under clear encasement to add depth and a clean, luminous blue green look in finished beads and small sculptural details.
