Glasswork Masher Tweezers

Description:
Glasswork Masher Tweezers are a parallel pad tweezer masher made from durable stainless steel. The working end has two flat square pads designed to close evenly and apply broad, controlled pressure to hot glass. This style of masher is used when you want a clean, repeatable flattening action without leaving deep tool marks, especially during shaping steps where symmetry matters.
How it is used:
Use these tweezers to mash and shape hot glass while it is still soft in the flame. They are especially useful for flattening and forming petal and leaf shapes, and for creating crisp, even compressions on small sculptural elements. Heat the glass to the proper working temperature, bring the pads in square to the surface, compress with steady pressure, then reheat lightly to fire-polish and relieve chill marks as needed.
