Description

Sold x 115 grm (1/4 lb) Glass Alchemy Alchemy Mint borosilicate Glass Rods. Alchemy Mint, 441 is an opaque celadon green that works well in fades, backgrounds to pop other colors or as an off white, especially in stringer applications..  Size: 7mm x 58cm length. Weight per rod approx. 32 grms. 3-4 rods per  115grms or 12 - 15 rods per 458 grms (1lb).

Memories of first understanding how to use Glass Alchemy's heritage color Sage come to mind when working Mint. This is because in the number system Mint is just a shade lighter than Sage was and works just as nice. I work this color unencased and it works creamy and smooth in a variety of flame settings.  Quick heats with a sharp premix flame to add, melt or cut-in detail work does not bother the surface of this color.  This is a beautiful opal that will lend well to blown work and contrasts with darker colors such as Glass Alchemy Spanish Moss.  If blown thin enough, you will see a milky opalescent finish that is easiest to achieve by placing Mint in between two layers of clear before blowing out.

Working Tip:

Work this color in a neutral flame.  Garage at 975° F, Anneal at 1050° F.
