Description:
Moretti Clear Effetre Glass Rod in the 14–15mm size is a large-diameter clear soft glass rod used when you need a lot of clean, consistent clear in a single gather. It is manufactured as solid round rod and is commonly chosen for building up mass quickly, pulling thick stringer or cane, and creating larger clear components without having to constantly add smaller rods.
In lampworking, this diameter is especially useful for artists making larger beads, sculptural forms, and clear encasement work where you want a strong, stable heat base and enough volume to keep your clear moving smoothly as you shape. A thicker rod like this also helps reduce the number of seams introduced when adding clear, which can be helpful when you are trying to keep your finished work optically clean.
How it is used:
- Heat the end of the rod and gather clear glass for larger beads, marbles, or sculptural forms
- Use it as a clear base for encasing color, silver glass, or decorative cane work
- Pull thick clear stringer or cane when you need larger quantities of clear quickly
- Add clear mass for handles, punty-style attachments, or larger build-ups where smaller rod would be slow
