Morton Glass Caddy

Item# 7151

3 of 4 found the following review helpful:

Good for small pieces of glass, May 21, 2011 3 stars

Pros
This stand is sturdy enough for small pieces of glass and ever so slightly faster to assemble than building your own.

Cons
It gets a bit tipsy in the 10x10 range.

Bottle Slump Mold

Item# 80674

Studio-quality mold, January 23, 2011 5 stars

Pros
These hold up wonderfully to repeated firings -- I can't remember the last time I had to reapply kilnwash to them.

Cons
None.

Other Thoughts
I wish they came in a size scaled for 1.5L bottles. (The mold Delphi carries for 1.5L bottles is unfortunately not correctly sized for making vessels with raised sides.)

15" x 21" Rectangle Kiln Shelf

Item# 74370

Exactly what you expect, December 3, 2010 5 stars

Pros
It's thick, heavy and sturdy.

Cons
None discovered so far!

Other Thoughts
Are they measured like lumber? The one I received is 20.75 inches long.

Recirculating Submersible Pump for Lap Grinders

Item# 42561

5 of 7 found the following review helpful:

Works well, April 20, 2009 4 stars

Pros
Doesn't leak. Provides a steady water steam.

Cons
Hard to fit included hose over the output nozzle. Documentation is .. stark.

Other Thoughts
If you're having trouble getting the included tube onto the nozzle (and you will), heat a cup of water and stick the rubber tube into it for a minute to soften it. It will still be a struggle, but that's how I mentioned to get the tube on. The tube supplied with the pump falls out of the water intake on the Crystallite lap grinder when dry. It seems to stick better when wet. A small brass tube comes with the pump kit that may be an adapter for the water intake, but it's never mentioned in the instruction manual, so its purpose is unclear.

Silver On Thin Clear - 90 COE

Item# 90124

3 of 5 found the following review helpful:

Adds sparkle in any layer, April 3, 2009 5 stars

Pros
This is the dichroic glass I use most -- not only does it impart a beautiful sparkle on top, but it turns any transparent glass into a dichroic-looking glass when used as a base layer!

Cons
none

Other Thoughts
When marking with a sharpie, be sure to mark on the non-coated side. Marker does not like to come off the dichroic coating!

Small Nickel Plated Jewelry Bails - 25 Pack

Item# 63907

Great length for chokers, March 25, 2009 5 stars

Pros
Places the pendant right at the base of your throat. The magnet is strong -- I've never had one let go, unlike other magnetic bails I've come into contact with.

Cons
The wire is stiff. Not like a bare metal neck wire or collar, but stiffer than a chain.

Other Thoughts
I don't like wearing these myself, but customers seem to be quite fond of them. The black covering appears to be some kind of plastic, but it's not at all cheap looking.

Large Sterling Silver Jewelry Bail - 1 Piece

Item# 63915

Just add glue!, March 25, 2009 5 stars

Pros
Pleasantly sturdy.

Cons

Other Thoughts
These are harder than your average sterling bail, which tends to be bendable. I use them with E-6000 or a 5-minute epoxy.
