dichro tube pull

  « Studio Shots

(Glass Working)

dichro tube pull alot of people ask me how i do these so here you go...this is the prep i would do for 1 decent sized bubbler. It is done on 44x3.8mm and takes me about 45 minutes to an hour total time. Switch it up and do them on 50x5 w/ a larger piece of dichro and a couple of inches longer point, and you have 2 decent sized bub's. Anyway...

...but big parts of the tube are repulled or made for big sections, so it works out to be around 3.25-4 feet total length
