are not selling the real didymium in their kits
- but some inexpensive "welding" type glasses
which do not do what true
didymiums do.

If you want to use a bulk (large) propane
gas tank instead of the small disposable tanks, we can substitute
a different work surface and bracket. In addition you will need
to order the hose adaptor. See below. Choose 5 or 12 ft hose. |

Glass Rod Rests
This movable rod rest is used to support glass rods to keep them up off the flame worker's workbench for easier grabbing, better organization, and to keep the glass rods cleaner.
The rippled edge keeps the rods from rolling around.
These durable stainless steel rod holders can also be placed inside a glass bead kiln to support your mandrels.
