Item Name:
Fused Quartz Rod - 1.0mm
SKU:
ABRQR1
Description:
This fused quartz rod is a solid, clear quartz glass rod with a 1.0mm diameter. Fused quartz is used in lampworking and scientific flameworking when you need a material that withstands very high heat and rapid temperature changes while staying clean and stable in the flame. A 1.0mm rod is especially useful for fine detail work, small repairs, and precision fabrication where you want a very small diameter stock for delicate joins, tiny supports, or thin drawn sections.
How it is used:
- Heat the rod in an oxygen-rich flame suitable for quartz work until it reaches a workable state.
- Use it for precision fusing and small repairs where minimal material is needed at the joint.
- Pull and taper the rod while hot to create even finer points or thin sections for detailed quartz work.
- Fire-polish ends as needed, then cool in a controlled manner appropriate to quartz work to reduce stress.
Dimensions:
- Size 1.00mm
- Length 4'
- Ovality 0.10mm
