it’s a wrap

A lot of people ask me where my raw materials come from and how? Well I use borosilicate tubing and rod. Borosilicate is a heat resistant glass which has many trade names, Pyrex being one and perhaps the most recognisable. I use glass made by Kavalier which is one of the oldest glass companies in Europe. Its trade name for borosilicate is Simax and my supplier is Smith Scientific who really know how to package glass to ensure it arrives to me in one piece. As you can see loads of bubble wrap which always come in useful. So if you ever need any you know where to come.

    Glad you got the old family cabinet in this picture and that you recycle the bubble wrap
