    I use pyrex currently because I get a good price on it from a local scientific glass shop. I like it ok, it is better glass than my chinese fittings are made with. It feels a little funny maybe stiff I guess. For the price I pay for it (2.50 -2.80 per pound with tax picked up local) it works just fine for now.

    If you order glass from China cuz it's a good value, don't get upset when the stores you sell to stop buying your products cuz China is making them cheaper. I don't feel great when American factories close and our families lose their jobs when a company in China is prospering selling US THE SAME THING. Sometimes I think just maybe our mess isn't because of 500+ politicians but because of the actions of the 300 million Americans personal decisions. Look out for your peeps aight.!? That's an order.

    Pyrex tubing and simax rod.... the simax works best for marbles. It does not boil that fast and leave air bubbles on your marbles. I like name brand pyrex but it had less air bubbles in it when it was not made in china. It also cost a lot more too. It is no big deal when making pipes or anything with a lot of color in it.
