16 Gauge Pre-Tinned Wire - 1 lb

Item# 452116

2 of 3 found the following review helpful:

Perfect size, July 29, 2013 5 stars

Pros
Easy to bend - holds shape well after bending. Straightens easily. 14 AWG is good to use as a post. 18 & 20 AWG's are for looks only (like for filigree)

Cons
the ONLY thing I realized after buffing is that you can take the solder off and then you have copper showing through. My fault - not the wire

Other Thoughts
Best way to buy this product. Priced less than buying per 4 oz at supply stores.

Super Brite Copper Patina For Solder - 8 Oz

Item# 5506

Love It, July 29, 2013 5 stars

Pros
Have found all patinas work best if you use them just after polishing and also apply with a small piece of paper towel instead of a brush.

Cons
nothing so far

Other Thoughts
when first applied it looks nothing like what you think it is going to look like but it matches the copper zinc perfectly. I guess I was thinking it was going to look like copper foil. Glad it doesn't though. Don't worry about it looking like it is coming off after polishing - it isn't.

Generation Green (g2) Bottle Cutter

Item# 425365

Almost didn't buy one, January 6, 2012 5 stars

Pros
Simple to use, it works! Lots of cutting blades. All the parts look pretty sturdy to me.

Cons
none - I have no complaints but this is the only bottle cutter I have ever used.

Other Thoughts
I almost did not purchase this cutter after reading the reviews online. I bought it; watched the FREE online video and commenced to trying it out. My first bottle was epic fail! But - I was impatient and was just tapping (banging) away on the bottle. All I got was a jagged edge and various runs. I don't think I got a good score either. The second cut (same bottle) I let the bottle sit and then plunged it in a cold water bath. Failed again. Then I decided to heat it up one more time. Ran out of time though and just put it under the cold water in the sink and the score ran. So now - with a new bottle - I let it heat up in the hot water, run it under cold running water and then back in the hot water. Comes right off nice and clean. Did it three more times just to make sure.

Diamond Max 2 In 1 Deluxe Grinder

Item# 7394R

Diamond Max Deluxe, August 20, 2009 3 stars

Pros
good straight edges, fast, great concept

Cons
LOUD! Not easy to use both features without turning the base. Either the grinder is too strong or I am too weak - every now and then while using the disc, the glass scoots out of my hand! Really dangerous!!!!

Other Thoughts
Haven't quite figured out the water yet. I find that the drain fills pretty fast which leads me to believe that the grinder water is low. It seems hard to keep the disc wet without constantly "moving the water around." i.e. empty full drained water - refill reservoir. I like it okay but was more comfortable with my old grinder. Would be happy with LESS SPRAY!
