What sizes did you get Danny? I tried to order some 1 inch and 44 but they were sold out for a couple days til the next conatainer came in. No biggy. I just couldn't wait but I am Jonesing to try some. Next time I need glass I will be tryng them. How much did it cost to ship?

[homer]

Yeah, I got mine, I am in the same boat as u danny, but mine were broken in the middle on all but 3...some had the ends broken as well...but shards can come in handy if you are creative...

I used the tubing last night, works great, even walls and no scratchs or lines....seemed to have a lower melting point than simax...

I am definately buying a bunch more!! THANKS ADAM!

i just got my santa case of 32x4 and 2 of the tubes were broken but at least it wasnt as many broken as some of you guys got. The last time I got cases from USTG it was shipped 2nd day air and this time it was shipped ground and thats understandable but its probably why theres more breakage.......

thanks adam when are you going to post a pic of all your submissions?

[Firekist]

hey homer.. what size/s did you try? my 32x4 seems undamaged, despite what looked like a partially exploded box.. the inner box was actually ripped open on the end.. heh.

i haven't seen any lines on the first 3 tubes.. a couple itty bitty bubbles.. and it does seem to stay hot longer than simax.
i'm not sure about the "even wall thickness" though.. mine seem to be a bit outta round.
do any of you that have tried it think it tends to bubble quite a bit? i gotta try wiping the tubes with actual cleaner or something.
it's pretty good for the price.. but.. it's not simax quality either. i guess that's my opinion so far. lots of tubes and sizes yet to try!

What I got was very nice tubes aside from the breakage and the unpolished ends, but I can deal with raw ends..... I got 38x4, Seth. No bubbles and it was definately even walled and round...

[xiaan]

he has a good selection of sizes too

[broken glass]

YES. I picked up a sample tube of 50x5 last week and it is REAL good for what i use it for, and the price can't be beat.
Adam had allready explained that there was a small wall thickness issue , in the 50x5, and that they are in the process of perfecting it. I was handworking it, not making goblets or anything super precise, and it works real good, I didn't even notice that there was unevean walls(The difference of wall thickness, is that one side is a fraction off, not visible to the human eye)
As far as lines and bubbles, I experienced none of that.
As far as the amount of time that this tube can be worked, it does not hold up as long as simax, and is slightly better or equal to Kimble. When i would do one big reversal, and attach two reversals to the ends, then blow that out and reverse it, the original reversal in the middle would start to devit, just as would happen with kimble.
So I will be buying UST from now on to do my prodo and some higher end stuff, But I will also have a case of Simax laying around for anytime i need to work someting for a LOng Time.-----------------------A great glass for a great price---------------------

we got ours, but ran out of town and haven't even opened it yet. Box seemed in perfect condition though....I'm sure Andy will get lots of use out of it as soon as we get back from Indiana....

[vetropod]

I just got back into town and opened mine up - 5 with broken ends and one broken about 1/3 of the length... Haven't yet tried it out, but it seems clean - looking forward to trying it out.
