Working Tip: Work in neutral flame to avoid reduction (gray streaks).

Artist Description by Mike Shelbo:

"Almost a water blue transparent, this Cobalt tint is faint enough to let just the right amount of light through yet dark enough to be vibrant.

Works smooth and melts with ease; very similar to working a clear rod. Will retain heat and soak in heat very well." - Mike Shelbo
