How big does this stuff come? I just worked a large red rod like 12mm, I placed it in a kiln at 1050 let it sit in there for awhile. Then i took a 15mm solid boro rod flattened the end. I took the red rod out of the kiln with a pair of gloves and started working it with a red max into a gather on the end of the boro. Then with tweezers i pulled it down to about 3 feet of 6mm rod.The color turned from red to carrot red which is cool. So i guess i ask about the size is i would like to get it in these larger size rods to make quick big gathers for prep.
