Description:

Masher tweezers with offset pads are a hand tool used at the torch for shaping hot glass. They are constructed with a tweezer style spring handle and a pair of flat, offset paddles at the tips that close together to compress the glass evenly. The offset pad design helps you get the paddles into position without your hand blocking the work, making them useful for quick mashing, bending, and light sculpting while the glass is still plastic in the flame.

How it is used:

• Use the flat pads to quickly mash a gather or section of hot glass to create a flattened area.
• Use the offset pads to pinch and bend small sections while maintaining visibility and control at the torch.
• Use gentle, repeated compressions for light sculpting and to refine edges before final flame polishing.
