Moretti Effetre Rod - Alabaster Regular White - 5mm - 6mm

Description:
Moretti White Regular Alabaster is a soft glass color rod made by Effetre. It is manufactured as a solid, round cane in a consistent working diameter range, intended for heating in a lampworking torch and forming into beads, small sculptural parts, and decorative components. This regular alabaster white is a dependable opaque that gives strong coverage and a soft, light-diffusing surface, making it a staple choice when you need a clean white base, crisp contrast for surface decoration, or an underlayer that helps transparent colors read brighter.
How it is used:
- Preheat the rod gradually at the edge of the flame to reduce thermal shock, then move into a hotter working zone once it warms evenly.
- Wind it onto a prepared mandrel to build bead bodies, then shape with marvers, paddles, or gravity for consistent rounds, barrels, and tabs.
- Pull it into stringer for fine linework, dot stacks, and high-contrast patterning over compatible soft-glass colors, then melt in smooth to finish clean.
- Use it as an opaque backing layer under transparent or lightly tinted colors when you want stronger brightness and clearer pattern definition.
