Description:
Asian 25mm Opaque Black Fatboy Rod is a large diameter borosilicate color rod made in China, formulated for solid, deep black coverage with strong opacity. A fatboy rod in this size is produced as a substantial solid gather, giving you the mass needed to build big forms without constantly adding smaller rod. In lampworking, an opaque black like this is used when you need maximum visual density, crisp contrast, and a dependable base color for sculptural work, production components, and any build where the black must stay rich and non-translucent through repeated heating and annealing.
How it is used:
This rod is used by heating the end into a large gather and applying it directly to your work for building volume quickly, laying down bold black sections, or adding strong contrast details. It is especially useful for larger flameworked sculpture, thick handles, feet, bases, and production parts where you want the color to read as true black even in heavier cross-sections. Because of the diameter, most artists work it with a larger, hotter flame and keep the heat broad to maintain even temperature through the mass before shaping.
