Item Name: Moretti Effetre Rod - Blue Marble - 5mm - 6mm SKU: 1556716 Description: Moretti Blue Marble rod is a soft glass color rod made as a single, solid cane of uniformly colored glass that is pulled to working diameter for lampworking. This color is used when you want a classic medium blue that reads cleanly in the flame and gives dependable coverage for beadmaking and small soft-glass components. Rod glass like this is commonly chosen for base beads, wraps, and decorative elements because it delivers consistent color as it is melted, wound, and shaped, and it can be layered with compatible transparent or clear soft glass to create depth and visual contrast. How it is used: Warm the rod slowly in the back of the flame, then bring it to a stable working heat before applying it to a mandrel or base form. Wind it onto a prepared mandrel to build an even base bead, then marver and shape while maintaining a consistent heat. Use it for wraps and bands over a compatible core to add bold blue striping and clean color blocking. Pull it into stringer for fine linework, scrolls, and edge detailing. Layer it with compatible transparent or clear soft glass to add depth, soften transitions, and create encased color effects. Dimensions: Rod diameter: 5mm – 6mm
