    the u-glass I got is 4-mill tube I use it just like rod if you heat it up right the air backs right out I can use small tube and scap blowtubes to incase with. I did it a lot when I used only a minor burner. I made lots of small stuff and used random scrap glass I could find or peeps gave away! There is tons of stuff to use it for. I can draw over fume with small tube just as if it was rod. Hell have a look at bates torch I wonder what size tube the ports are made with. Stuff like that has lots of use's.

    I had a project to work on totally non-art related that I needed 2mm and 3mm tubes. One of these days I am going to get around to buying a couple since I only place a couple orders here and there for small stuff and I always forget.
