Northstar Turbo Cobalt Rod

Description

The Northstar Turbo Cobalt NS-033 rod is a highly saturated cobalt blue. It stands out for its intensity. To avoid graying, work it in a strongly oxidizing flame. This blue is ideal for fine stringer applications. It stretches easily without losing its vibrant color. You can also use it to create a faux black if kept relatively thick. This blue remains dark while maintaining remarkable depth.

However, if you want to achieve a battleship gray, work this glass in a reducing flame. This transforms the intense color into a subdued gray. This option provides additional flexibility for your creations. To add richness to your pieces, you can layer the Northstar NS-026 Double Amber/Purple over Turbo Cobalt. This color combination creates a fascinating visual effect.

Fine stringer and stretching applications are particularly suitable for the NS-033 Turbo Cobalt. It is also suitable for larger pieces while maintaining stable color. Its intensity makes this glass a perfect choice for applications requiring a deep blue. The Northstar Turbo Cobalt rod offers a wide range of uses, from adding fine details to creating unique color effects.

The NS-033 Turbo Cobalt rod, with its versatility and ability to be worked under different flames, offers many artistic possibilities.
