Bio

I'm an accidental artist. What started 30 years ago because I wanted to make something cool out of an old window sash has become a passion and I enjoy exploring all kinds of new aspects of working with glass.

Pros
Lightweight, Portable, Low Wattage, Durable

None really. Could be even brighter would be my only suggestion.

Other Thoughts
I own 4 of these and they make up the core of my portable gallery display. I can run all 4 off my Jackery 1000 power station all day and they backlight all my pieces at shows.

Miracle Fiber, September 24, 2022 5 stars

Pros
Easy to Use Creates great texture No mess/No Fuss

Cons
Creates a texture and shows seams, so that has to be a desired results

Other Thoughts
I just started playing with this amazing materials about a month ago. Makes working with the kiln to "cook" glass so easy. Great for newbies who want to get started but don't care that one size will pickup the mat texture.

You really need to cap it with clear to get best results.

Pros
Easy to install Good Customer Support Easy to use

Great results so far, May 20, 2022 5 stars

Pros
Super easy to use Great results with minimal fuss

Cons
None so far

Other Thoughts
I've had this kiln for about 9 months now and just started firing it up in my studio when I got an electrical upgrade. I'm a total novice to fusing/slumping but the computer interface on this is super simple and even I could figure it out. 3 projects done and it's working great. Comes with loads of presets to tack/fuse/slump 90 and 96 COE glass.

Glass slides but fixed with shelf liner on base plate

Holds up through winter, September 22, 2021 5 stars

Pros
Ideal for 14" round mold with no measuring Sets up fast Works as described

Cons

Other Thoughts
I gave up making stepping stones for a bit because of durability issues with the stones (diamondcrete) 10 years ago. This stuff seems better and when coated after 30 days with concrete sealer, they have lasted so far through 2 winters without cracking.
