Wissmach Black Opal - 90 COE

Item# W0290

Great Price, February 27, 2013 4 stars

Pros
Inexpensive, great for base layer.

Cons

Other Thoughts
I don't get devit with this glass, firing up to 1490.

1.8mm Jewelry Drill Bits - 6 pack

Item# 75420

1 of 2 found the following review helpful:

Quick and easy, February 6, 2013 5 stars

Pros
Much faster than hardware store glass drill bits, stays sharper.

Cons
The bit tends to walk if you don't have a drill press.

Other Thoughts
I've drilled at least 50 holes with the first drill bit, and it has not discernibly dulled.

70 Grit Diamond Hand Pad

Item# 77006

Fast and Convenient, February 6, 2013 5 stars

Pros
Much faster and easier than going out to the grinder. Just keep a bucket of water handy to dip the pad.

Cons

Other Thoughts
Mine has had two years of heavy use, and the diamond-coated sheeting is finally breaking up and coming away from the pad. It would probably have lasted even longer if I were more careful when grinding corners.

Not Bad, January 29, 2013 4 stars

Pros
Unlike most of Bullseye's fracture streamer colors, this one actually looks like the picture.

Cons
Pricey

Bullseye Orange, Yellow and Red with Black on Clear Fracture-Streamer - 90 COE

Item# B4111F

Sparse colors, January 29, 2013 2 stars

Pros
The colors are pretty, what there is of them.

Cons
Contrary to what the picture shows, this is primarily plain clear glass.

Other Thoughts
I purchased a number of Bullseye's fracture streamer colors for the first (and last) time in my last order. For the most part, the glass I received contained only 25% to 50% of the color depicted in the photo. My advice is not to buy any of Bullseye's fracture streamer colors unless you can select them in person.

Wissmach Wispy Blue Green

Item# WW0197

Very Pretty, January 29, 2013 3 stars

Pros
Inexpensive, colors accurately reflected by the picture

Cons
Mostly opaque, with an area of mostly transparent in the middle. Not what I expected from a glass billed as having medium light transmission.
