Lead And Glass Stop Blocks

Item# 63902

Efficient, November 19, 2022 5 stars

Pros
I previously used came and scrap glass for fixturing projects. Now I’m not wasting time and came by cutting came blocks. Also, their color makes them very visible - less time searching the work table for components.

Cons

Canfield 60/40 Solder - 1 lb.

Item# 5471

Good product, November 19, 2022 4 stars

Pros
Nice smooth solder joints when soldering lead came.

Cons
Could be my technique, but when soldering zinc came with this product, the solder joints are not as smooth as when soldering lead came.

1/4" Round H Lead Came – 6 ft Piece

Item# 5582

Good product, November 19, 2022 5 stars

Pros
This came is clean, shiny and solders well. It is compactly spiral-packaged in sealed bags to retard corrosion.

Cons

Other Thoughts
Like all lead came, it should be stretched to straighten and harden it.

Glass Eye 2000 Software

Item# 4896D

Versatile, valuable tool, November 7, 2022 5 stars

Pros
Feature-rich, accurate, scalable, great glass library, excellent printer driver, nice lamp wizard... lots of good menus and features. It is CAD -customized for glass design work.

Cons
Users unfamiliar with a little basic CAD can be initially frustrated.

Other Thoughts
Even if all you are making are crosses and red-green tree ornaments, this product can make you a better glass artist. It is the go-to tool for glass design. Classical stained glass, fused glass, even lamps. I have ported the SW through several operating systems and computers, and found the support to be appropriate. The company's level of piracy protection is warranted. It is valuable.
