anyone use this stuff? i havent been in the game for awhile and just saw this stuff for sale online, new to me. rediculously cheap 2.50/lb damn.

is it any good? how about the color tubing too? seems like its mostly just basic 'crayon' colors, is it worth using? or just boiling checking junk?

There's a ton, especially about the tube. Same things pretty much apply to the rods. Here's some of the current/recent ones.

It is not like crayon colosr at all. It is all transparent. Blue, yellow, amber, purple, green, "black", red.
It works pretty good. Some better than others. I just finished a tube of green on a little bub and it came out well.

I've been using alot of this stuff for goblets and xmas ornaments. I like it, mostly. I'd buy American if someone could produce it here reasonably. I think the glass is shocky because it was never annealed properly, I pre anneal every tube before I use it and that really seems to help.
