Mini Royal Treasure Glass Pack - 96 COE

Mini Royal Treasure Glass Pack - 96 COE

Item# X9190
Great accent glass, August 16, 2011 4 stars
Pros
This is a great way to try royal glass before committing to an expensive larger piece.
Cons
This glass can be a bit tricky to work with. That is the only reason I didn't give this 5 stars. I put a paper towel on my cutting surface to help protect the fragile coating from getting damaged.
Other Thoughts
Would love to see this glass pack available in slightly larger pieces. 6x6 would be great.

Cons
None.

Item# 128901
Great mold, July 20, 2011 5 stars
Pros
Easy shape to work with and the resulting plate has a ton of uses. Customers love these. I can fit 5 easily in my kiln at once.
Cons
I haven't found any yet!
Other Thoughts
Other small molds like this one in other shapes would be great as well.

Customers Love These!, July 20, 2011 5 stars
Pros
They are nice heavy rings and can accommodate a larger cabochon with a nice size gluing area.
Cons
Only the sizes in this package are available.
Other Thoughts
Offer more sizes and sell them in packages of single sizes to allow artists to customize their inventory.

Great gift, July 20, 2011 3 stars
Pros
These are great sellers for me. They really stand out when in use.
Cons
I have had many where the set screw came out. Once it is out it is impossible to get back in, even if you still have the screw. I have also gotten several where the plating was flaking off.
Other Thoughts
I now put a dot of gorilla glue over the set screw of each one I purchase. That seems to keep them from falling apart so easily.
Glaskolben Blown Glass Ornaments Kit

Not for complete beginners, September 26, 2010 4 stars
Pros
This was a fun kit, and I plan on purchasing more glass tubes. I was able to make really nice round ornaments by the 3rd or 4th try.
Cons
The instructions are very poor. I did an internet search for additional information before attempting this. I don't recommend this kit to someone who doesn't have some experience with torch work. You need to have a good feel for how glass moves when it is molten to know when to start blowing. I also don't recommend to anyone who does not have a kiln to anneal. The ornaments have thin enough glass that I don't think they will survive long without proper kiln annealing.
Other Thoughts
Make your flame big and bushy (turn down oxygen a bit and turn the propane up a bit). If you set the flame to the same size as for beadmaking you won't be very successful.

Great value, September 26, 2010 5 stars
Pros
Beautiful assortment of colors, great value for the price. I give these away as packaging to customers when they purchase my jewelry. I can always find just the right color in this assortment to match the piece purchased.
Cons
None.
Other Thoughts
I wish additional sizes were offered.

Poor Quality, September 26, 2010 2 stars
Pros
These were a great price and the rubber gasket part fits most bottles snugly.
Cons
I was really disappointed with the batch I got. The stems were wobbly and the plating was completely off several of the stems.
Other Thoughts
Not sure if I just got a bum batch of stoppers. I will not buy again.

A real timesaver!, May 1, 2009 5 stars
Pros
These take all the work out of getting circles cut that will fit into purse hanger, key chain, etc. findings.
Cons
As of now there are only two colors and clear available.
Other Thoughts
I would love to see circles and other shapes that are sized to fit into other finding types.
