This Elev8 Butter tubing is hand made by Elev8 Premier. The idea of butter colors is that they work like butter for the glassblower.  Most butters are a colored tube with another layer of color on top.  This technique really brings out depth and new colors that just have not been around.  Once the colored tube is finished it is then sleeved in 50x5mm clear tubing made by Schott Glass.  The clear on top allows the color underneath to really pop!  If you are a glassblower you will love the way the glass works like nice smooth butter. 

The tubing can range in many sizes from 10mm to 40mm. When Elev8 Premier pulls they like to pull small and larger diameter so the artist can spend less time messing with the color, and just get to work.  Diameters are not guaranteed, but if you want smaller or larger diameter, leave us a note when you check out.

Get your Elev8 Butter Colors high quality colored lined tubing today!

*Each piece is handmade so it may be a bit over or under the requested weight. Elev8 Distribution will contact you after making the tubing for your order so that we can adjust the price according to the exact final weight.*

Butter colors work much like lined tubing.  We recommend to work the termination just like you would a termination on lined tubing. Pulling butter is NOT like pulling lined tubing.  Our butter may not come in a straight tube.  Some wall thicknesses are not perfect, from the sleeving process of super heavy wall.  Butter color is for experienced blowers only.   Sexy Butter is for super experienced blowers that fully understand different viscosities in glass like that lined tubing that is stiff on one side and not the other.   Sexy Butter will move and thicken where the dense colors are like cobalt and hyacinth.
