does anyone know how to get the "BOW" out of glass tubing when pulling...Im pulling a very soft lead glass into tubes about .154 diameter and i cant seem to get the bow out of the rod . any hints??????

RE: glass tubing

If you are worried about the sagging due to gravity, you should rotate both ends sinchronously e.g. on a glass lathe.
