Item Name:
Replacement Graphite 2" x 3"
SKU:
850-552
Description:
This replacement graphite block measures 2 inches by 3 inches by 3/8 inches thick and is constructed from high-grade graphite material. Graphite is an essential material in lampworking and glassblowing because of its exceptional ability to withstand extremely high temperatures without degrading. The material features a low coefficient of friction, which prevents molten glass from sticking to the working surface. Graphite blocks are used to create custom tools and replacement surfaces for existing tools, allowing lampworkers to shape, form, and manipulate molten glass with precision. The dense, non-porous nature of graphite makes it ideal for both artistic and scientific glassblowing applications.
How it is used:
- Used as a replacement working surface for lampworking and glassblowing tools
- Shaped and machined to create custom footing tools, marvers, and forming implements
- Provides a heat-resistant surface that prevents glass adhesion during the forming process
- Ideal for creating molds and casting tools for molten glass work
- Can be cut or machined to specific dimensions for specialized tool applications
Dimensions:
- 2" wide x 3" long x 3/8" thick
