AR-RED22
Description:
Asian 7-8mm Red 22 Rod is a color borosilicate glass rod pulled to a consistent working diameter and formulated to deliver vibrant, true red color with bold visual impact in flameworking. A strong opaque red like this is chosen when you need saturated warmth that reads clearly at a distance, holds up as a primary design color, and provides a confident base for surface decoration and layered pattern work. The 7–8mm rod size is a practical daily-driver diameter that heats evenly, feeds smoothly, and gives you enough mass for gathers without feeling sluggish at the torch.
How it is used:
This rod is used as a direct color source at the torch for beadmaking and flameworked components. Heat the tip to a stable working glow and apply the glass as wraps, dots, stringer pulls, and small gathers, then marver and shape as needed. It is well suited for fiery accents, warm-toned palettes, and bold focal elements, and it maintains its brilliant hue when properly annealed.
