Pros
This kit is a great starter kit, especially if you want to make sure you like lampwork without a huge investment. It comes with everything you need but protective eyewear and MAPP gas. Worth every penny!

Cons
The instructional video is non informative. I just researched lampworking forums and videos and made some great beads after.

Other Thoughts
I am super happy with my purchase! I have managed to pull nice colors from some of the special silver glasses on my torch even thought it isn't as hot and propane/oxygen torch.

Pros
These decals fire to a beautiful rich gold.Works best on a plain dark color. Yellow blue is my favorite,

Cons
none

Other Thoughts

Pros
Years ago I did not start out using twofers, but now I will use no other. Recently, I have found it to be getting very difficult to keep my glass from chipping for some reason. Once I switched brands of bits my time at the grinder is better well spent and my productivity has improved. My patience too!

Cons
They don't last quite as long, but since they are less expensive it works out.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Works well if used with small pieces

Cons
It has to be removed if working with larger pieces of glass.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Circles are now very easy and come out perfect. I was amazed. The straight lines are easy to repeat over and over again.

Cons
You have to be careful to hold the circle base firmly in place, or it could slip and ruin the score line.

Other Thoughts
Requires a few clamps and a board of wood/mdf of the appropriate size in order to use the tool for straight strip cuts.

Pros
My first time using a patina. It is easy to use and apply. The change is instant. Cleanup was easy and it did not stain the glass.

Cons
Very fluid and spills over the work area if you are not careful.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I have ordered this on several occasions and have always been satisfied. It is a great way to get a variety without the expense of individual pieces. I would highly recommend for jewelry projects.

Cons
Sometimes pieces are small

These are fun and easy to use. Many colors can be made by doing some mixing magic. I've made some amazing pieces with this stuff.
