Item Name: Simax 10mm x 13.2mm Rectangular Rod SKU: 272101301 Description: Simax rectangular rod is clear borosilicate glass stock manufactured in a rectangular cross section for scientific and artistic lampworking. This material is produced as a solid, transparent rod with flat faces and crisp edges, making it especially useful when you need predictable geometry, clean corners, and consistent wall buildup during fabrication. Rectangular rod is commonly chosen for building and reinforcing flat-sided components, creating paddles and tabs, forming bridges and supports, and adding mass where a round rod would roll or distort the layout. In scientific work it is often used as structural stock for jigs, fixtures, and custom builds where alignment and flat reference surfaces matter. This item is sold as a case quantity intended for production use, and individual pieces will be cut in half for shipping unless you request full length shipment by email. How it is used: Use as clear stock for building flat-sided structures, tabs, and paddles in borosilicate lampworking Heat evenly by rotating and presenting each face to the flame to avoid twisting or uneven softening Pull into strip or thinner rectangular stock for bridges, feet, and reinforcement where a flat surface is needed Use the flat faces as reference planes when aligning assemblies, supports, or attachments during fabrication Incorporate into sculptural builds when you want crisp edges, defined corners, or a flatter visual profile than round rod Dimensions: 10mm x 13.2mm rectangular rod Approximately 48 pieces per case Special Notes: Individual pieces will be cut in half to save on shipping.
