Aether Seconds (1 lb)
|
|
: $40 Double Helix Exclusive
|
These full pounds of Aether Seconds may have small scratches, tiny rocks and/or seed bubbles.
Aether is a colorless encasing glass designed for superb workability in the flame. It is engineered to be resistant to boiling, free from seed bubbles, and handled with the utmost care to ensure freedom from scratches and dust.
In other words, it is our clear.
Aether does contain certain chemical components that can react with metallic silver and cause a reaction. These chemicals also keep Aether remarkably free of seeds, and help to preserve the metallic sheen of the encased silver. The reaction often appears as a yellow/green tint. Working the encased bead hot often increases this effect. If you want to avoid that reaction entirely, we recommend Zephyr clear instead.

Aether Rocks

No, I didn't find any actual rocks; only a few blemishes. These rods are awesome. Since I am new to lampworking, I wanted to try different brands of clear and this clear is THE best I have used so far. I found it the easiest to work with and was able to encase murrini without even one getting squished. This is now my clear of choice! Thanks for providing me with 2nds to try!

These Aether seconds are nicer than the best firsts of any kind that I've worked with.
