Use this awesome tool for flaring, sculpting and shaping. In many cases flaring with two points of contact is very beneficial. The fine edge of this triangle is also very effective with cutting into or sculpting molten glass.The sculpting edge is sharp enough to produce a crisp, sharp, carved line but not so pointed it will chip or wear easily. The connection point of the graphite and metal is a rigid metal block with two screws and a wider graphite base section for added durability. This tool will last a lifetime.
