Item Name: Kashmir Rod - White SKU: KR-WHITE Description: Kashmir Rod in White is a colored glass rod used as stock material for flameworking and lampworking. It is manufactured as solid rod that can be heated in a torch flame and worked directly, or pulled down into stringer for fine linework. White is used when you need strong opacity, clean contrast, and crisp graphic definition in beads, sculptural work, and surface decoration. It is also commonly used as a base layer under transparent colors to brighten them and keep color reads consistent across a piece. How it is used: Heat the end of the rod in a neutral flame and apply gathers of color to your work for wraps, dots, and opaque overlays. Pull the rod into stringer for fine linework, dot trails, and crisp decorative accents. Use as a base color for components where you want high contrast against darker colors. Back transparent colors with a thin layer of white to brighten the final color appearance. Build up white in layers for solid coverage when making sculptural details and bead bases.
