Replacement Graphite 2" x 6"

Description:
This replacement graphite block is a solid graphite plate cut to a 2 inch by 6 inch working face with a 3/8 inch thickness. Graphite is used in lampworking and glassblowing because it tolerates direct flame and repeated thermal cycling while staying stable and easy to machine. Its surface naturally resists molten glass adhesion, which makes it a dependable forming and support material when you need to shape hot glass without chilling it too aggressively or contaminating the surface. A block in this size is commonly used as a replaceable wear surface on existing tools or as raw stock for making custom bench tools for both artistic and scientific work.
How it is used:
- Used as a replaceable graphite wear surface on lampworking and glassblowing tools
- Used as a small marvering surface for straightening, smoothing, and truing hot gathers and seals
- Machined or shaped into custom forming tools such as paddles, push tools, and small blocks for corners and flats
- Used as a heat-tolerant support surface when assembling components that need stability while hot
- Used for quick shaping operations where a non-sticking surface is required
