Description:
Kashmir Rod - Light Turquoise is a colored borosilicate glass rod used as a working color in flameworking and scientific glassblowing. It is manufactured as solid rod stock so it can be heated in a torch flame, gathered, and shaped into components such as accents, overlays, small solid forms, and color applications on clear borosilicate tubing or rod. This color is typically chosen when you want a turquoise tone that reads lighter and cleaner in the finished work, and it can be used either as the primary color in small pieces or as an accent color for line work, dots, and surface decoration.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod gradually in the far flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring it up to a workable temperature for gathering and shaping.
- Use as a base material for small solid builds such as beads, pendants, small sculptural elements, and color blocks.
- Apply as surface decoration on clear borosilicate by laying in stringer lines, dots, or wraps, then melt in and shape.
- Pull into stringer for fine line work, detail, and controlled color placement.
- Use in combination with other borosilicate colors to build layered color effects, transitions, and simple striping.
