Item Name: Double Helix Ekho Rod SKU: DHGEKHO Description: Double Helix Ekho Rod is a lampworking color rod formulated for 104 COE glass. It is manufactured as a solid colored glass rod intended to be worked in a torch for beads, pendants, marbles, and small sculptural components. Double Helix colors are used when you want specialty effects that develop through heatwork and flame chemistry, producing shifts in tone, depth, and surface character that standard transparent and opaque colors do not provide. Ekho is commonly chosen as a reactive color that can be used as a base, as striping, or as surface decoration when you want complex visual results that respond to controlled heating and flame adjustments. How it is used: Introduce the rod to the flame gradually to prevent thermal shock, then heat to a workable glow and apply it to your piece as a base layer, wrap, or surface design. Use steady heat for smooth application, then adjust flame chemistry and working temperature to develop the reactive effects. Allow the piece to even out at temperature to stabilize the surface, then place it into a kiln and anneal using a schedule appropriate for 104 COE. Dimensions: 12" Length 5mm - 7mm Diameter
