Quartz Rods for Fuming

[glasskarma]

Could any of you Aussies out there, chime in on where I could purchase quartz rods from, for fuming? I'll be getting my Smircich dvd soon and I want to get straight into it ;) I saw some listed on ebay but the guy will only ship to the USA :sad:

thanks

Just get some clear boro. It will be fine. That's all I've ever used for fuming.

Thanks Cosmo. I still would like to get the quartz rods though :smile: I just noticed you live in Roanoke. I was there last year ( I lived in Virginia for 2 yrs, Rocky mount to be exact). I was looking for a bead store but I couldn't find it, I ended up in the ghetto end of town ( I guess I was on the wrong side of the freeway. It was East and I was West of the street, or vica versa).

If you are ever in town again, let me know. There is a very nice one here - www.beadsindeed.com. We teach classes there, and we are building our studio in the back of the building.

Wale carries it, in a dozen or so sizes. The 4mm would be a good size.

Wale Product ID : CFQ4 (GLASS - CLEAR FUSED QUARTZ ROD / 4mm O.D. X 4' LONG) - PRICED PER FOOT / Price: $2.15/ft.

They would probably cut that 4-foot piece up for you, prior to shipping to Australia, if you asked them.

Wale is at: http://www.waleapparatus.com
