	Steinert Industries - Punty Rods
		Punty rods are made of 304 stainless steel (except the 0.375 solid weighted punty) and have been designed as excellent workmates to the blowpipes.
		They closely approximate the weight and balance of their sister pipes and provide a smooth transition from pipe to punty.
		If you would like us to quote a special order punty, please phone our office at (800) 727-7473.

	De Clarke's Glass Pages (isn't bisque beautiful?)
		The marble needs to have cooled enough on the end where the punty will be placed that there will be a "cold joint." This means that the outer skin of the marble, at least on that end, is relatively cool.
		The punty is also cool to the point that it is solid.
		After removing the glass punty from the flame, and still holding the marble out of the flame, I count to between 5 and 8, depending on how large the tip of the glass rod is. The larger the punty, the longer I count.

	Magic Kiln Tactics
		I use a glass punty because it is less apt to thermo-shock the part and you have a lot more control with a punty then you do with tweezers.
		I prefer to attach this punty to the end of the bead where the hole is. This allows me to rotate it as if it was on a mandrel.
		Punty: Traditionally an iron rod with a bit of glass on the end used for attaching onto other pieces of glass.

	Glass Act - Hand blown art glass by Ross Neder
		When "necking" a piece to prepare for the punty the artist will use "jacks" to constrict and to chill what will ultimately be the lip of the piece.
		It is quite acceptable to leave the "punty mark" on the bottom of the piece as long as it is not exposed.
		The punty mark is one of the signs of a blown glass object as opposed to a cast glass object.

		A modest scar on the bottom of the piece called the punty mark is acceptable, proving the work was hand-blown and not cast or mold-blown.
		The torch is also used to light the pipe warmer—a small oven where the blowpipes and punties are kept hot.
		The goal is to attach the punty as close as possible to the exact center of the free end of the piece so when it rotates it will turn true.

	How to make marbles.
		To transfer it you heat both places (one on the marble & the tip of the punty) making sure that either the punty or the marble is at a cooler temperature.
		Or after heating both pieces you can tap the tip of he punty on a marver (a flat piece of graphite, stone marble, or metal for shaping), doing that will make sure your punty is cooler than the marble.
		Hold the punty & give it a sharp tap, the marble should fall off the punty into your mould, quickly fire polish the pontil (the place where the punty touched the marble).

		I heat the end of the stainless steel punty rod directly in the flame until it is glowing (Figure 1 - Steel Punty).
		Transferring from one punty to another: The point where the new punty is to be placed doesn’t have to be heated as much as when transferring to a glass punty.
		By heating the punty rod to red hot, near but not on the joint, the heat travels down the punty to the joint and causes the punty to let go.

		Pipes and punties are arranged in the pipe warmer for use during the session.
		If the punty glass is too hot, there may be a bit of frantic turning and twisting of the punty to keep the piece centered and in place.
		A torch may be used to apply heat to the bottom of the piece and/or the punty glass when trying to heat this area in the glory hole would soften the rest of the piece too much.

		Anything down on the punty will later be wasted, so on the first gather you want to move the glass down to the working area.
		The entire process you are rolling and rotating that punty so that the glass (which is moving--it is just a thick liquid, after all) stays centered on that pipe.
		You sit down and put the punty on them and use one hand to roll the punty back and forth to keep the glass where it belongs, but the other hand goes to work on shaping (being careful not to touch the glass, of course, or the lower part of the punty).

	How do you Punty?????? [Archive] - WetCanvas! (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Before I stick the punty on there I let the piece cool a bit so the punty and marble won't fuse together.
		Drew Fritts uses mandrels as punties and I've done that a few times and am actually leaning towards that myself.
		The other technique that I use is to heat the end of the rod and then roll it on the marver at a shallow angle to narrow the tip to a couple of mm diameter and rounded slightly on the end.
