Item Name: Moretti Turquoise Light Pastel Effetre Glass Stringer (2mm - 3mm) SKU: 1558232 Description: This is a pre-pulled Effetre Moretti pastel stringer made from 104 COE soft glass, produced as thin cane for controlled linework and small-scale color application in lampworking. It is used when you want clean, consistent stringer lines without the time and variability of pulling your own, and it is especially useful for surface decoration such as scrollwork, dots, banding, and fine detail that needs predictable thickness and melt-in behavior. How it is used: Preheat the stringer gradually at the back of the flame to reduce thermal shock, then bring the tip to a small working heat. Apply fine lines, dots, and bands to a warm base bead or component, then melt in to the level of relief you want. Use light heat and a steady hand for crisp surface trails, or apply hotter and melt in fully for smooth inlaid color. Combine with other 104 COE colors for layered decoration, then anneal on a 104 COE schedule appropriate to the project. Dimensions: 2mm - 3mm diameter
