611065 Northstar Cherry Borosilicate Glass Rods

Northstar Cherry is the most eye-catching member of the opaque family. It is a bright candy apple red that is well suited for stringer application and blown work. Cherry is slightly sensitive to reduction, so work in a soft neutral flame. However, Cherry is heat sensitive so it must be worked carefully to prevent boiling. Encasing with clear is another method of shielding the color, but not necessary. Cherry can be easily worked on the surface and will not boil or scar if worked carefully in a soft flame. A nice color effect is to try is a layer of Northstar Rootbeer over Northstar Cherry. 
Size: Diameter 5-7mm, length 20", weight per rod .07 lb. All Northstar rods are first quality.

ATTENTION:

Due to the weight and length of the rods you may receive .30 pound vs .25 pound (as an example) when ordering. This will cause the cost to rise and the amount you expect to pay for your glass may change.

If this is a problem, please let us know and we will “underweigh” your glass. This means instead of .25 pound you may receive .20 to .22 pound. Please be aware that it is almost impossible to pull exactly .25 pound. We will always try our best to get as close as possible to the weight that is ordered, but due to the factors stated, these weights may substantially increase the total cost of your order.
