Pros : Glassline pens are great to use for fine detail. Recommended to fire at 1500, however, I have also fired them as low as 1375 and I have been pleased. This kit has so many great colors. I purchased the kit for the colors you can not purchase individually (for me, brown & grey). However, I ended up loving some of the others that I had not considered. The price is also better for the kit and a set of tips are included.
|
Cons : Some of the colors can be thicker and therefore more difficult to apply. I find that frustrating. Be sure to shake the colors VERY well before using. They can be very watery also. I always test on a piece of paper before applying to my work.
Also, check your piece before firing to look for smudges & cracking if applied to thick. These can be corrected by "scratching" them off with a toothpick. It is easier than trying to wipe off small mistakes when the glassline is still wet.
|
| Other Thoughts : I suggest firing a tester with all of the colors on it to use for future review. It is very helpful to see the "true" color after firing. I would also suggest purchasing extra tips with this kit. I love working with the tips for precision. I "plug" my tips with straight pins with the colored balls on them. Great way to keep them sealed with the tips still on. I clean my tips by letting them dry out, scraping them out with toothpick and then soaking in nail polish remover to get out the final residue. Works great! |

Pros : Lots of fun to use. I like to use them on each layer of glass...makes a pretty cool fused dimensional piece.
|
Cons : The paint dries quickly in the pen tip. I keep the little cleaning wire in the tip between using colors. This makes it very easy to have multiple colors open at once.
|
| Other Thoughts : I used them to trace my daughter's first "drawing." It is now a fused memory. Highly recommend these!!! |
| just okay |

Pros : You can paint with glass! It opens a whole new world of possibilities.
|
Cons : The finish isn't glossy - capped or uncapped in clear. It is matte and grainy.
|
| Other Thoughts : well worth getting. |
| Fun to paint with |

Pros : This worked best for me with a brush, as paint. I painted a wash on a white piece of glass and layered a clear piece with flowers, landscape, etc. It was 3D and awesome! I also painted on fusible paper (dogs) and was happy with that, fused between clear glass.
|
Cons : I'd prefer a standard cap option, since the little caps don't stay on well and the "paint" dries.
|
| Other Thoughts : The range of colors is great. |
