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

3 of 5 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

2 of 3 found the following review helpful:

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.

Item# 7404

Works Great, February 6, 2013 5 stars

Pros
Great for preventing and reversing devitrification

I usually use this stuff on devit-prone areas, and my work comes out great every time.

Like the Picture, January 29, 2013 3 stars

Pros

Cons
Pricey

Other Thoughts
Didn't realize that the stringer was raised.

Bullseye Canary and Sunflower Yellow on Clear Mardi Gras - 90 COE

Item# B4220F

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

6 of 9 found the following review helpful:

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.

Bullseye Neo-Lavender, Purple and Cobalt Blue on Clear Mardi Gras - 90 COE

Item# B4242F

2 of 3 found the following review helpful:

Nothing like the Picture, January 29, 2013 1 stars

Pros
None

Cons
My 8 x 10 piece is 98% clear glass with a few anemic streamers, and less than a quarter of the frit shown in the example.

Other Thoughts
The glass I received is unusable for my type of work. Next time, I will make my own over Wissmach clear, for a third of the money.

Bullseye Yellow Striker, Blue and Red on Clear Mardi Gras - 90 COE

Item# B4223F

4 of 5 found the following review helpful:

Don't waste your Money, January 29, 2013 1 stars

Pros
None

Cons
Nothing like the picture. My 8 x 10 piece is 98% clear glass. A few pieces of medium/fine frit - only one piece of yellow! Streamers pulled so thin as to be nearly invisible in places.

Other Thoughts
I cannot imagine any use for this glass in my type of work.
