Devardi Glass Handmade Clear Glass Rods, 1 Lb COE 104 - Lampwork, Beadmaking

I will never be purchasing glass off Amazon again. These rods are horrible, micro fractures all up and down the rod. Putting any sort of heat to the rod even in a very soft flame instantly shattered the glass and sent shards flying around the studio. Also the glass was not clear, when I was successful and got the rod to melt it went from clear to a dirty blue. Do yourself a favor and but glass from a real glass company not amazon

The delivery was really fast, very good quality and the more important thing to me was the support from them, especially from Natalie.

While the review I wrote for the color soft glass pack noted the popping that others experienced with the clear, the clear behaved for me.The glass I received was as stated, handpulled and slightly irregular and fairly large sized rods (mostly 8-10 mm with some points on the rod that were thicker and others that were thinner). Some of the rods I recieved were broken which is the nature of glass and shipping. While I didn't have much popping with the clear glass, I did have some issues with the irregularities. There were some pretty flat spots on the rods which make it difficult for me to rotate while heating. It was also just plain odd to have such size differences in the same rod.I guess these are just personal preferences and not truly quality issues.

All the rods were lumpy and misshapen. Many have rocks inside and the glass takes a grey haze when melted.

Several rod crack or shatter when heating. I have tried a slow heat and get hotter and I have just started hot. It doesn’t seem to matter a few seconds in, with some not all the rods, pop! The end comes off

Excellent rods, excellent price, excellent everything. My pleasure to do business with Devardi Glass. Highly recommended. Thanks so much.

I don't like that the rods are irregular and full of bubbles .

Absolutely junk wish I would have not ordered it’s bad
