Description:
Double Helix Phoebe Rod is a lampworking color rod manufactured as a solid, colored glass rod intended for torch work such as beads, pendants, marbles, and small sculptural components. Double Helix colors are used when you want specialty effects that develop through heatwork and flame chemistry, producing shifts in tone, depth, and surface character that standard transparent and opaque colors do not provide. Phoebe is commonly chosen as a reactive color that can be used as a base, as striping, or as surface decoration when you want complex visual results that respond to controlled heating and flame adjustments.
How it is used:
Introduce the rod to the flame gradually to prevent thermal shock, then heat to a workable glow and apply it to your piece as a base layer, wrap, or surface design. Use steady heat for smooth application, then adjust flame chemistry and working temperature to develop the reactive effects. Allow the piece to even out at temperature to stabilize the surface, then place it into a kiln and anneal using a schedule appropriate for the glass you are working.
