Item Name: Kashmir Rod - Cream SKU: KR-CREAM Description: Kashmir Rod - Cream is a solid colored glass rod designed for flameworking and lampworking applications where subtle, warm tones are desired. It is manufactured as a consistent rod form that can be introduced into the torch flame, melted, and applied directly to compatible base glass. Cream is used when you want a soft, neutral warm tone that complements both light and dark base colors, making it an excellent choice for background fills, blending transitions, and creating warm highlights on sculptural pieces and beads. Rod form allows you to precisely control color application, whether you are laying down wraps, building dots, or pulling stringers for fine detail work. How it is used: Preheat the rod tip in the outer flame to reduce thermal shock before moving into the hotter working flame Melt the rod tip and apply it directly to the work for dots, bands, surface wraps, and color fills Pull stringers from the rod for fine linework, scrollwork, and detailed patterning Use as a warm neutral accent over darker base colors to create depth and visual interest Apply in layers and lightly marver to smooth and blend transitions for shaded effects Use for background fills and warm highlights in sculptural details and bead work
