    I'm a little behind in reading my posts, but I thought you guys
    might want to be aware that an Orchidian, Randy Smith, is preparing
    an article on Pyrex burnishers to be published to Ganoksin. Randy
    sent me some to try out, and they got a workout at the last workshop
    I presented. Everybody flipped over them! You can hold onto them, and
    the way the properties of the glass work, it's not necessary to dip
    them in water. They glide over the foil without sticking. You can
    make different points and ends. Those that had their fancy agate
    burnishers felt they were on par with them, but I noticed they were
    trying out Randy's rods and using them for some things their agates
    couldn't do. OK, so besides, they had just paid an average of $20 for
    their fancy agates, and it's kind of hard to swallow your pride that
    something simple works just as well, and in some cases better. So I
    urge you to look for Randy Smith's posting on how to make your own,
    and if you're not inclined to make your own,

    Randy will make a limited amount of sets for a nominal fee, up until
    he gets sick of making them.
