Glass Alchemy Red Crayon Rod

Description

The Glass Alchemy Red Crayon rod is an opaque, dense, and vibrant cadmium-based red. It is suitable for all applications and retains its intensity even when stretched into a thin layer.

Usage Tips : This red provides consistent opacity, ensuring a faithful rendering of its original color. It melts evenly without the risk of sublimation, provided it is heated gradually. Preheating in the outer flame is recommended to prevent thermal shock. Avoid rapid or localized heating to maintain its structural integrity.

Working with Red Crayon without encasing it in a layer of clear glass yields the best results. However, quick passes through a hot, well-directed flame near the torch tip are also possible. The key is to use the flame like a brush, moving it slightly to evenly heat the desired area.

Red Crayon is ideal for blowing, sculpting, and creating murrine. When encapsulated between two layers of clear glass, it remains visible even when stretched thin. It pairs well with other shades like Orange Crayon to create realistic fire effects in sculptures and blown pieces.

The Glass Alchemy Red Crayon rod is a powerful and stable red that guarantees a vivid and accurate result. It adapts to various techniques and offers great versatility. With gradual heating, it reveals its full potential in glass artworks.
