Fun Way to Play, November 14, 2011 5 stars
Pros
It can be a bit expensive to play with these, but it is a great way for me to get into glass blowing. I bought the hot head torch and that made a big difference. It will take some practice but I plan to continue to get these handy items and hope to make some great ornaments.		 Cons
For someone who is not familiar with glass blowing the cost can be high considering that practice will mean wasting these tubes.		 Other Thoughts
My hope is to be able to crush the unused blow tube and the ones that I messed up and use it for beadmaking or fusing.

Hot Hot Hot, November 14, 2011 5 stars
Pros
Since I am starting to do glass blowing I found my other head just didn't give me a big enough flame to keep all the glass hot. This one does. So far I am very happy with this head and would recommend it.		 Cons
None that I have come across yet.

to switch or not to switch, July 21, 2011 3 stars
Pros
I have been using this head for several years and it has been great. It is easy to use and makes setting the flame very easy.		 Cons
It looks like the "flint" is a problem for others - but mine did last for quite a while.		 Other Thoughts
I have been wondering if it's time to switch to a different head - this one doesn't seem to get as hot as it used to after several years.

fast tac and holds, June 20, 2011 5 stars
Pros
A drop or two and the glass was in place and stayed there while I moved it around the studio and finally got it in the kiln.		 Cons
none		 Other Thoughts
I have never used a glass glue before but realize how nice it is to not worry about the glass moving around. And it only took a drop in the center of the piece to hold it.

Beautiful pendant, June 20, 2011 4 stars
Pros
The shape and style of this mold makes a great pendant. Easy to work with and have great results with full and part fuse.		 Cons
None that I have come across!		 Other Thoughts
I have to grind the edges down after because it has little glass points and it leaves a dull edge on the glass

Good kiln wash, June 20, 2011 3 stars
Pros
Easy to use - I do not use this for shelf wash but more for my molds. I usually have to wash the shelf or mold after each use. It mixes easy and goes on smooth. It works well and I have purchased this product several times.		 Cons
Has to be reapplied after each use.		 Other Thoughts
I don't use the kiln wash on the shelf anymore and have found that using the shelf paper works great. I do use this product to coat my molds.
