12 Square High-Temp Board

12" Square High-Temp Board

Item# 92807
4 of 4 found the following review helpful:
Great product overall, March 6, 2010 4 stars
Pros
I love working with the vermiculite boards. They are great for "building" glass pieces on in layers and not having to carry something to the kiln that is not steady. I find them incredibly handy. They are also great for making tons of dots. Line them with thin fire and use your scraps to make dots. Fire once the board is full. It is low profile, so I can keep it in a drawer and keep working with it until full.
Cons
I stilted a board ONCE and it warped at 1500. I won't be able to use it again. I was very surprised that it bowed in the middle. Two pieces were ruined because of the warping. I still love these boards and will just never stilt mine again.
Other Thoughts
You can cut these boards into shapes and sizes, which is very handy. The vermiculite does leave some board powder residue behind on the kiln shelf after firing.

Sturdy posts; please with product, March 6, 2010 5 stars
Pros
Well made, thick, sturdy, very level. I use these to elevate my slumping molds. Long enough to lay sideways to balance molds.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
I make sure to kiln wash these before use.

Great product!, March 6, 2010 5 stars
Pros
Easy to snug around the neck of the outlet base. Has a long face plate to hold enough glue to adhere glass nightlights.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Best to roughen up metal and glass before adhering with adhesive. E6000 works well.

Good value, February 24, 2010 5 stars
Pros
Excellent construction. Nice switch in the front. Easy to assemble.
Cons
On most of my sockets I had to REALLY screw the bulb down very tight in order for it to light up. At first I thought some were faulty. It was just the bulb needing to be tightened. I'm used to it now, but thought the bulb would break with the amount of tension.
Other Thoughts
I haven't had one socket that didn't work and I'm very happy overall.
Glassline Pen - White

Glassline Pen - White

Item# 802001
4 of 5 found the following review helpful:
Excellent product, February 4, 2010 5 stars
Pros
I love the glassline pens. They are so easy to use. This white is a "creamy" white color, which I like instead of bright white like liquid paper. I have fired this at different temps and really like the results. At approx 1400 (for me) it leaves a bit of a rough surface if placed on top of the glass. I like that effect, but if you want it smooth, I would suggest a Full Fuse.
Cons
Be sure to shake VERY WELL, otherwise you may have separation. I always squeeze some out on paper before applying to my work. First squeeze may be a bit watery.
Other Thoughts
Make sure to get the glassline pen tips. They are assorted sizes. Otherwise the opening on the pen is a medium-thick line. You can get much finer detail with the tips.

Great gold color, truly metallic, February 4, 2010 5 stars
Pros
I love this color. It truly is metallic, but not glittery. I also have the Metallic Copper Glassline pen and like the Gold so much better. The gold is the same consistency as the other colors, which is a positive.
Cons
None. Be sure to shake VERY WELL to get the best consistency and color.
Other Thoughts
Used this a ton at Christmas time!

Fun Time Millefiori Assortment - 90 COE

Item# 85811
Great price! Great colors!, January 7, 2010 5 stars
Pros
I am very pleased with this purchase. I got an excellent assortment of colors. Looks very similar to the picture. It does come in assorted sizes, but that was fine with me. All of the pieces have fired great so far. Very pleased with the purchase.
Cons
One VERY thick piece did not go "all the way down" on a full fuse, but it did add interest to the piece. It was quite thick.

Excellent cutter!!!, January 7, 2010 5 stars
Pros
This is the best cutter I have used to date. It makes the best scoring lines. I get super accuracy and such easy breaks. Definitely will only use this cutter in the future! Love the assorted colors! Hasn't leaked either, which has been a problem with past cutters from other manufacturers. It also has a nice cover for the tip. LOVE IT!
Cons
none
