Hi Fosterfire


Funny you bring glass from china up, I was at a craft market and a friend who imports beads from there said you could get glass rods in soft and boro at decent prices.

Im actualy looking for a link to somewere that sells it at the moment to see what the quality is like. So if anyone does know could be a good thread to watch.

Regards
Andrew.

The black tubing is easily reduced and is very shocky, along with all the other colored tubes. You definitely get what you pay for. I know Winship and Glasscraft both carry it. The only color of theirs I will ever order again is their black rod.

The black tubing works great in a neutral flame. Don't try and treat it like a colbalt it won't work. It takes some getting use to but when you do its gloss black every time.
