Rod Test

[NBN GLASS]

Any suggestions on what color Boro Glass Rod to use to conduct a test for an oxidizing/neutral and reducing flame. Sorry for such a "beginner question"!

Amozon night by Glass Alchemy will do the trick. If you hold it in a neutral flame till orange, then pull out and cool, the neutral flame will not change the color of the rod. If the rod turns sky blue, then you have a reduction flame. I'm not sure what an oxyie flame will make.

An oxidizing flame will make the rod look the same as a neutral flame. An oidizing flame usually isn't a problem like a neutral flame is. Oxidizing flames are cooler than neutral flames though.

I don't have this particular glass, but have pretty much all of the Momka's. Is there a colour in this range where I could do the same test?
Thanks,

Sure - try Green Envy or Alaska Night.
