AR12
Description:
Asian 12mm Clear Boro Rod is clear borosilicate rod manufactured in China and supplied as straight rod stock for flameworking and scientific-style fabrication. Clear rod in this diameter is a staple for building up mass quickly, making solid components, and creating thick-walled sections that need strength and clean optical clarity. It is commonly chosen for handles, punty-style attachments, solid gathers for sculptural work, and for any build where you want a dependable clear base before adding color, surface work, or encasement. This item is sold by the case, and the listing notes an approximate piece count and total case weight, making it a practical option for studios that go through a lot of clear in production.
How it is used:
This rod is typically used by cutting to working length, preheating as needed, and then heating evenly to form gathers, seals, and attachments. In lampworking it is commonly used for: - Building solid forms and sculptural blanks where you need thickness and strength - Pulling down into smaller rod or stringer when you want clear linework or a clear core - Making handles, bridges, and reinforcement members that will later be fused into an assembly - Creating clear bases for encased color work where clarity and low distortion matter
