Default How much glass is in an 1/8lb?

I'm ordering soft glass for the first time from Mountain Glass and well... How much glass am I even ordering? They have a limit of an eighth pound, but what does that equal? Like a couple rods?
Thanks,
Kitty

It depends on the size of the rods. If you have a scale, weigh out 2oz of 6mm, 13" rods. That's the average size but there's usually some variation.
