    the tube is still being produced, you would just need to pull down, they are not producing the rod because they released their "magic" white and are selling for way more then they sold the opaque white for, you can buy from UST, they call it opaque white (or describe as old/chalky) under $10 a pd

    there is nothing magic about it. It leaves clear streaks that wont strike white, otherwise its an ok color on the outside. Light tiny checking on insideout pipes after two weeks. I am switching to it for certain things because I can no longer get 16 mm rods of og white. I have one rod of 26 for sale because I am sick of pulling that shit down. get at me 50$ shipped for the whole rod. I will cut it up so it fits in a flat rate. someone hit me up

    none of that is correct. they quit producing the white years ago, everything you buy, tube and rod is old old back stock. same with the red. when he red rod runs out, there will be none, or there will maybe be a replacement. There is tube available because he color is shitty in tube form by itself, its shocky and brittle and barely acts like boro

    call UST, talk with Frank, ask him for the "old" or "opaque" or "chalky" white, he will know what you are talking about, there was a newer run of the tube done within the last year, the 25mm tube is now 4mm wall, the original run was a 2.5mm wall, you can pull really nice rod out of the tube, it is shocky if introduced to the flame cold, if you preheat in a garaging kiln you will very little problems, our shop goes thru about 100pd of this tube a month, this color is available from reputable distributors for probably around $10 a pound

    also looks like ABR still has some in stock (item code ar-white25) $52.50 for a 4 foot piece of 25mm rod

    hope this helps

    UST item codes are :Old White 26mm Rod $423 for 47lb case ($9 pd), Opaque White Rod 7mm $660 for 44pd case ($15pd) I would guess the 7mm is a newer batch and price went up from $9 to $15 a pd

    they only have the larger sizes from what I understand. you can buythe fat boys like i have from several places, I have it priced cheaper. its 57$ a rod for 26mm from ABR I want 50$ shipped. I think thats cheap enough, I only have one rod for sale.

    I pay my rent with this stuff, you cant get the smaller rod, online catalogs dont mean much man, you have to call as you said. since the beginning of my lampworking job bs whatever you want to call it, I have used pounds a week. I have a phone too, I call these people

    shit man! i'd take that in a heartbeat, but i'm stuck with about $40 in my PayPal acct. if you still have it in a few days i'll definitely take it. fats are fine, i sort of like pulling it into whatever size i need for the application.

    you still looking for this stuff. I believe I have a small tub of it. I have to look through my colour stash. Do you have part numbers or a pic to make sure that I am looking for the right stuff.
    I make cool stuff out of things that were, forgotten, tossed and thrown away.
