Morton Fence Extension

Item# 7147

1 of 1 found the following review helpful:

Not worth it, September 8, 2015 1 stars

Pros
There are no pro comments

Cons
Although I still use the older Morton fence, I could make this extension work. But it does nothing that a plain old ruler and glass stop can't.

Other Thoughts
There is nothing to this. Way too much to spend for a piece of plastic and two flimsy rulers. A useless addition to the Morton system. I hope that Morton will consider simply making a larger fence in the future.

Poor Quality Box, December 18, 2013 2 stars

Pros
Nice enough but I wouldn't want to give it to anyone.

Cons
Definitely a glued together item. The hinges are cheap. Not a good color.

Celtic Tile Casting Mold

Item# 92304

Pretty Good, December 18, 2013 4 stars

Pros
It's a very elegant mold with great detail.

Cons
Needs two pieces of glass otherwise the glass shrinks. Not a true 6 inches. Fires to 5 1/2 inches

8" Round Screen Melt System

Item# 96304

4 of 5 found the following review helpful:

Works well enough, August 23, 2013 3 stars

Pros
I like it better than pot melt systems. You can place the glass where you want.

Cons
Steel mesh, some ceramic legs and a good size pipe clamp would do the same thing.

Other Thoughts
The firing is 12 hours long.

Amethyst Bodied Damselflies Pair Bevel Cluster

Item# GST117C

1 of 2 found the following review helpful:

There Is Nothing Like A Damsel, May 27, 2013 4 stars

Pros
A very simple design. Cuts on the body add dimension. A nice Amethyst color. Very easy to incorporate.

Cons
I purchased these and the green damsels. The upper wings are different in that the green has a flat bevel on the wing where the amethyst does not. Or at least it didn't on mine. One upper wing was missing and GST was quick to send a replacement, but they sent the beveled top one, so one panel on my lamp has wings that don't match.

Other Thoughts
GST is a well organized and courteous company

jbls comment on A Creative Resolution: How to Use Holey Molds
August 29, 2012

Over a short time I have purchased 14 of the wine glass molds, LF72. Why so many? After firing at a schedule suggested by Creative Paradise, the mold maker, and using Primo Primer, also at their suggestion, I find that the glass only releases with a gentle tap on a folded towel. The problem is that the center cone comes out as well. I'm not tapping hard. It just sticks to the glass and I wish I knew what I was doing incorrectly. I now have to re-order. Joe Bennett
