611072 Northstar Glacier Blue Borosilicate Glass Rods

Northstar Glacier Blue is a darker version of Northstar Ice Blue. It has a green tint to the color and like Northstar Ice Blue; Glacier adds great optical depth, even in thin layers. It is not suitable for stringers or cane work, but it is great for sculpture and blown work. It's effects as an overlay color are impressive. Try this color over Northstar Periwinkle or Northstar Skyline for great color effects. As like Northstar Ice Blue, Glacier is also sensitive to a reductive flame. Because it is more saturated, extra care has to be taken to prevent reduction from developing. By using a strong oxidizing flame, no reddish brown streaks will develop. 
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.
