Default Vetrofond Black

Hi Mike,

What really happened at Ventrofond and why did they stop making lampwork rods?

Also, why cant they (or someone else) make the Ventrofond black? Did they really lose the recipe?

Nancy
Dear Nancy, thanks for the question. That is one reason why I am going to Italy.

Over three years ago, Vetrofond decided to stop making rods and they sold the machinery. I can only assume it was an economic decision.

I believe I have a few pounds of Vetrofond black in 5-6mm, not pretty.

I may also have some larger diameter Vetrofond Black, I will need to verify, just maybe
