Precision Borosilicate
I've seen the name everywhere but who makes this Boro glass? There is no website of the manufacturing company and only distributors. Who manufactures this glass?

You are correct Pipyr, I understood Northstar and Precision kinda fused together

Precision and Northstar are still two different companies. They are sharing the same facility to batch their glass. Abe from Precision is batching it all right now and doing a top notch job. It's more of a co-op than a merge.

I'll ship anything you want to Australia, and I carry all the Precision colors...

Precision has some absolutely awesome sparkle colors, deep rich colors infused with very high quantities of chromium (for the sparkle). Obtanium and Unobtanium just to name two.
It's my understanding that Abe is managing the melt shop at NS, and NS has agreed to melt the PC colors for Abe, which will certainly increase the availability of his colors. Abe is quite the color maestro and seems to be able to do things with colors that no one else has been able to manage. He takes his time to do it right...

Yep. That's what I heard as well. I do know it's a lot easier to get Precision colors these days...
