611089 Northstar Nile Borosilicate Glass Rods

Northstar Nile is a unique organic version of our Northstar Amber/Purple. It yields rich earthy tones and burnt amber hues. It is well suited for blown and sculptural applications, but it is not saturated enough for thin stringer applications. It is also useful as an overlay color. When working Nile, use a hot oxidizing flame. It can be flame or kiln struck to yield a rich "glazed pottery-like" finish. It is also interesting to note that when this color is coiled, the coil lines are virtually unnoticeable and it yields a truly uniform surface. Be sure to try it over your favorite opaque!
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.
