Large Sterling Silver Plated Jewelry Bails - 25 Pack

Item# 63911

Best Bails in the Business, January 29, 2009 5 stars

Pros
I use these bails for all of my pendants, and even use the smaller ones for earrings! The large bails are perfect, because they will fit on just about any chain, regardless of the size of the clasp. The fine silver finish also compliments pendants well!

Cons
None!

Other Thoughts
Work best when used with E6000 and allowed to dry for 24 hours before moving. After that, it's almost impossible to get them off. I've actually broken fused glass pendants trying to recover the bails before.

Fuseworks Microwave Fusing Start-Up Kit - 90 COE

Item# 424848

Not a Bad Way to Start, December 30, 2008 4 stars

Pros
This was my very first kiln. It didn't take me long to out grow it, but it gave me a real taste of glass fusing. Even though I'm moving up to the Delphi 15x6 kiln, I will likely still use this kiln for compatibility testing. The glass that comes with the kiln is great for starting up too! I would order more shelf paper though - you will run out quickly!

Cons
It's very, very small. You can't make more than a pendant at a time. Earrings are a little better, but the kiln doesn't always heat evenly. Also, if you have an explosion (which is inevitable) glass will eat away at the kiln floor, making it difficult to fuse on.

Other Thoughts
In order to use this kiln properly, you need a microwave that heats evenly. You also need to be able to experiment. Glass will shatter and break a lot if you don't learn how to use your microwave's power settings! I cook everything for twice as long as is specified in the guide at half power.
