I did not understand segment 4. Is this your schedule going down? Could you just vent to 900?

Clear Coat Overglaze - 8 oz.

Item# 7404ALT

10 of 16 found the following review helpful:

clear coat overglaze, September 10, 2010 1 stars

Pros
none

Cons
Glass did not appear glossier than with a normal firing. Product seemed to leave small particles behind no matter how I applied the product. Directions did not specify how long to fire at specified temperature. A waste of money and unhappy results.

Other Thoughts
Used product after 2nd firing. Definitely did not reverse devitrification as others claim, but I realize this product is not recommended for that use. Still glass was dull and unattractive.

5-1/4" S-Curve Mold

Item# 80628

Uses for small 2-curve, August 6, 2009 4 stars

Pros
Coated with shelf wash, I never have trouble getting glass off mold. Small but pretty decorative wave pieces. I use the mold mostly to make curved night light covers using just part of the mold.

Cons
Size is small, so do have trouble getting wave pieces to stand up on their own. The base is not curved enough to support.

Fused Glass Handbook

Item# 6430

The Fused Glass, January 31, 2009 5 stars

Pros
Great reference book and great for beginning fusers. I look back at this book all the time.

Cons
None.

Large Heart 30 Piece Assortment - 90 COE

Item# 424668

hearts, January 1, 2009 4 stars

Pros
Easy to use pieces to create simple glass pieces for Valentine's.

Cons
It would have been nice to receive some red hearts in the package also. Both the large and medium hearts were without red pieces. A little disappointing. The red hearts are sold separately but it doesn't seem fair to have to buy them separately if you only want a few.

Speedster XL Bandsaw

Item# 737202

Bandsaw, December 5, 2008 4 stars

Pros
I love the way this works. Able to cut glass pieces I never would have.

Cons
Messy, the water seems to drain all over the place. I have mine setting on a towel. Surface space on left hand size can be a little small when trying to turn a piece.

Other Thoughts
I still have trouble cutting perfectly straight lines but maybe that is a Problem with me.

Micro Jewelry Drill Bit 6-Pack

Item# 7541

shanks too large for standard dremal, December 5, 2008 1 stars

Pros
Not sure, I was not able to use them.

Cons
I tried to use with a dremal, but the collet was too large. Smaller collet purchases did not help. More information on how to use with equipment would be nice. I purchased drill bits with larger shanks and am drilling away!
