Pros Great flow & fairly easy to work with. Makes very uniform solder joints with ease. A very economical solder, it performs as good as others do. Definitely will be picking up some more. |
Cons Never seems to last as you want it too! Other than that I cant think of any drawbacks Ive encountered while using it. |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros Loved the bright colors and patterns. Especially liked in the tie die funky. Made some fantastic pendants with it. I wanted to rush out and purchase more after I saw how vibrant the colors were when I took them out of the kiln. I think they are even brighter then other dirchoic glass. |
Cons The only bad thing I have to say and it really isn't bad is that the glass was unpredictable in the kiln. I had to increase the temperature & length of the soak to make it fuse with the 90 base glass. Also, some of the coatings crinkled a lot and others not so much. Overall you will find it crinkles a lot more than other dichro. I preferred not capping the glass with clear. |
Other Thoughts Would definitely recommend this sample pack if you are bored working with other dichro out there and you want to try something new in your jewellery pieces. You can make a lot out of the 12 pcs. you receive. |
 |
Pros These are the best things ever. The ease of use and there are so many uses for them. Let your imagination run wild! |
Cons none |

Pros This glass is phenomenal! The fire glow when held to the light is wonderful for clouds, snow, Christmas ornaments or whatever you can imagine. Grinds very well. |
Cons None |

 |
Pros My favorite go to glass for depicting branches and tree trunks. Cuts beautifully, grinds well. |
Cons None |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros There are many of them so you can finish a project and throw it away. |
Cons The bristles came apart and you had to watch that you didn't leave any behind so they were stuck in your project. Very cheaply made. |
Other Thoughts I guess you get what you pay for. |
 |
Pros Very pretty glass with many beautiful colors |
Cons The piece I received was much darker than depicted. |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros Beautiful glass that just glows! The picture does not do this glass justice. Great for depicting rocks, wood or even animals. |
Cons None |

 |
Pros Makes a very good water background. Great mixture of blues and greens that just glow beautifully in the light. Easy to cut and grind. |
Cons Doesn't look like the picture. |
Other Thoughts Definitely make sure you watch how your water "flows" when using this glass so the pieces you cut are used correctly. |
 |
Pros Love this kit, easy to make. This is my second order of these frogs. |
Cons |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros Does the job & very economical. I only bought one sheet to try, and I then cut it close to the edge to prevent the curling. Everything came out good. |
Cons Nothing really bad, it just seemed a bit rougher underneath after a full fuse than the bullseye paper. |
Other Thoughts I will definitely buy this again. |
 |
Pros These are by far the best pliers for breaking glass. I've made cuts, including nibbling ones with much better results. Glass waste is significantly down. |
Cons I could only suggest making the neck deeper for longer reaches into cuts. |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros If fusing temp right the colour result is a black cherry red with a subtle purple. Fantastic!!!! |
Cons Can end up orange depending on fusing schedule and maximum temperature. |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros I love the Miniscope refill kit because I already have the pattern, this kit and glass is all that is needed to make a kaleidoscope. Simple to do with beautiful results! |
Cons No Cons! |

 |
Pros Good assortment |
Cons Very small pieces. My jewelry is larger than these. Don't really know how to use them. I'm used to getting larger pieces of scrap. These came in a plastic bag that looked like it had been kicked around a warehouse for a couple years. There were cuts all over the bag and glass was chipped. Kind of an expensive trial. |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros Well packaged; received without any cracks or breaks. Had about 4-5 Spectrum colors that are less common. |
Cons |
Other Thoughts All of the colors I received were Spectrum. It doesn't specify in the description which brand glass you will get. |
 |
Pros Clear instructions, pattern pieces fitted well to the designated form. |
Cons Supplied pattern appeared to be hand traced on curved areas, and line thickness varied. |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros Easily spreadable with small brushes. Required application to the pattern only (not the form), and was re-positionable while setting |
Cons Took a very long time for the odor to dissipate. Would suggest using it outdoors. |
Other Thoughts |
 |
Pros Very reflective and gorgeous bevel. |
Cons None |
Other Thoughts I used these to border a window shutter and due to fitting, had to cut/grind a little off the edges. This worked surprisingly well and didn't take away from the overall look. |
 |
Pros The double-cut gives a project a very elegant look. |
Cons None, except be careful about scratching. |
Other Thoughts I used various sized double cut bevels in window shutters I was making. I had to cut some of them down in order to fit the size. This also was easy to do and still looked good. The double cut allows some wiggle room for adjustments like this. |
