Studio Pro 3/8" Breaker / Grozer Pliers

Item# 5066

6 of 9 found the following review helpful:

An essential, April 12, 2011 5 stars

Pros
I don't know how I lived without these. I love using the grozer side to nibble away at the edge of glass whenever it breaks wrong or I cut it a little too big.

Cons
Tends to fling shards of glass in every direction. You might want to wear glasses with these.

Studio Pro Pistol Grip Glass Cutter

A decent cutter, April 12, 2011 4 stars

Pros
I'm tempted to say this makes a nicer score than my previous Toyo cutter. It feels comfortable in my hand.

Cons
I've never had problems with it leaking oil out the end where you fill it, but it deposits a LOT of oil during cutting, which makes a slippery mess for my fingers.

Green / Magenta Blue on Clear Ripple - 90 COE

Item# 94111

Exceptional coloring, April 12, 2011 4 stars

Pros
In addition to the dramatic wavy texture this gives to tack fusing, the green/magenta blue color does just what it says. You end up with undulating streaks of pinky purple accented with lime green and blue. Great visual complexity!

Cons
Like all ripple glass, it's hard to cut and hard to stack other glass on top of.

Fuseworks Dichroic Pre-Cut Circles - 90 COE

Item# 425881

Pretty cool, April 12, 2011 4 stars

Pros
My mom used one of these in tack fusing and ended up with a gorgeous, no-fuss pendant that was quickly snatched up by a customer.

Cons
The circle developed a cracked, overcooked look in the kiln (maybe because the circles are for "microwave" use?)

Emerald Aurora Borealis On Thin Black - 90 COE

Item# 90291

Adore this, April 12, 2011 5 stars

Pros
If you love cool tones, you will love the purples, blues, and greens that characterize this glass. Overall, I'd say you should expect darker hues than those pictured--think teal-tinged hunter green, deepest purple, and ultramarine. It fuses to a smooth, sparkly finish that's just nuanced enough to keep me reaching for it again and again. A basic with just the right amount of oomph.

Cons

Emerald Crinklized on Thin Black - 90 COE

Item# 90296

Adds great texture and visual interest, April 12, 2011 4 stars

Pros
Having seen what I thought were cabs capped in this on the CBS website, I first decided to fused this on top of black without a clear cap. Ick! But since then, I've tried this other ways and fallen in love with it. It adds terrific texture to tack fusing, especially when you pair it with a reed/fibroid and an untextured dichro at the same time. It also looks attractive inside a full-fused cab, though the resulting effect is pretty much the same as the crazing of DichroMagic glasses.

Cons
The texture is quite fine, not the rocky, chunky texture the greatly enlarged pictures imply.

Red / Silver Blue On Thin Clear - 90 COE

Item# 90122

A staple in my studio, April 12, 2011 5 stars

Pros
When you get this glass, it looks absolutely red with a silver sheen, but don't worry--it fuses to a gorgeous shimmery aqua! Pendants made of cabs featuring this glass sell like crazy.

Cons

Mixture Pixie Stix On Thin Black - 90 COE

Item# 921414

A favorite, April 12, 2011 5 stars

Pros
This is one of my favorite dichros. It fuses to a silver sheen with hints of purple, blue and green. Because it's so nuanced, it looks great with almost everything else in my stash, especially cool tones.

Cons
