A mandrel is occasionally misspelled mandril. This fusing tool is added to the glass before fusing to produce a channel or hole or in the finished product. A hole or channel is sometimes desired for attaching further parts to the glass such as a chop sticks in a sushi dish or a necklace.
In glass fusing, these rods may be fabricated out of many items that either burn off entirely in the process or can hold up to the warmth within a kiln. Whatever matter is applied it is still necessary to coat the item with a bead release to keep the glass from bonding to the pole.
