Item Name: Trautman Art Glass - Queen Bee Rod SKU: TAG033R1-024-TAG-024 Description: TAG Queen Bee Rod is a colored borosilicate glass rod made for flameworking. It is manufactured as solid rod stock so you can heat, gather, and apply it directly in the flame for consistent color application in beads, pendants, small sculpture, and blown components. Colored rod like this is commonly used when you want clean, repeatable color placement for wraps, encasement accents, stringer pull, and surface decoration, without needing to mix frit or powder into the work. How it is used: Preheat the rod gradually in the far flame to reduce thermal shock Use as a direct application rod for wraps, dots, and striping Pull into stringer for fine linework and detail Melt into small gathers for sculptural additions and color overlays Combine with clear borosilicate for encasement, sleeving, or backing color for depth Show more
