Description:
Asian 16mm Cobalt Blue Rod is a substantial diameter colored glass rod that delivers a rich, classic cobalt blue. The larger 16mm format is built for bigger flameworking work and efficient production, giving you more material on the rod for larger gathers and longer working time before you have to switch stock. This rod is valued for its vibrant, saturated color and is well-suited when you want bold cobalt presence in sizable beads, sculptural elements, and medium to large torch-work that will retain its brilliant blue hue when properly annealed.
How it is used:
This rod is typically introduced into the flame gradually and heated evenly to avoid shocking, then used to gather and apply larger amounts of color quickly for bigger beads, sculptural builds, and production components where consistent color density matters. The 16mm diameter is especially useful when you are building mass fast, laying down thick color wraps, or pulling down to smaller rod sizes while keeping the cobalt color strong and uniform through the pull. After shaping, pieces are annealed to stabilize the color and relieve stress so the cobalt stays clean and saturated.
