Description

Sold x 115 grm (1/4 lb) Paris Green 2 borosilicate Glass Rods. Paris Green-2, 4642 was originally designed in response to the artist's request for a transparent green that didn't turn red.  We set out to meet this challenge and developed 3 shades of this revolutionary color, Kryptonite 461 being the lightest and Paris Green-6, 4646 being the darkest..Size: 7mm x 58cm length. Weight per rod approx. 32 grms. 3-4 rods per  115grms or 12 - 15 rods per 458 grms (1lb).

Working Tip:

Layer over Sno White, 9995 for a neon effect.  Also try substituting this color for clear in bead/pendant work for a unique effect.

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

A what you see is what you get transparent green glass.  Works a bit stiffer than clear but works very nicely for blown and sculptural work.  The tint of green will thin out when color layer is blown to 2mm or thinner.  Some of the works I have used the Paris Greens on remind me of manipulated bottle glass.
