Product Reviews
Pros
small, easy to use
Cons
wish it was self cleaning :)
Other Thoughts
like this item, would be great if it would also convert to a lap grinder/sander, but maybe they will offer that product in the future
Pros
These bails are fantastic, they really add something to my jewelry and the added size provides more surface area for the bail to adhere to the glass.
Cons
No cons!
Other Thoughts
Pros
I purchased a small piece of this glass and remembered seeing it in the catalog. I'm creating a very special piece and when I saw this I had to get the sample set. The catalog just didn't do it justice. OMG! the beautiful variations were just breath taking! After seeing it all, now I have to decide, which is the hard part! I have to say anyone who uses this glass the reactions will be breath taking!
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
Pros
I love my microwave kiln. It does exactly what I bought it to do. Price was good also.
Cons
Maybe the size of burning area could be bigger.
Other Thoughts
Pros
stays at temp. for hours at a time without over heating. Tips are sturdy and long lasting.
Cons
takes a "little longer" to heat to working temp.
Other Thoughts
no need to spend more on a production soldering iron.
Pros
Love this little grinder. It has a very strong motor. Grinds glass like a charm.
Cons
Face shield has to be purchased separately. No second story shelf, to use smaller bits for tighter radius.
Other Thoughts
Overall a nice little grinder for a newbie or an occasional user.
Pros
Cuts smooth and fast. I justify the high price because my blades always break before they wear out and the free replacements arrive days after I send in the broken blade. I always keep a backup so I can work between blades!
Cons
None, really.
Other Thoughts
If you consistently break blades, you are most likely adjusting the tension too tight.
Pros
Easy to use and aesthetically pleasing!
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
Pros
I thought the heart bail was cute - I did not anticipate how much everyone else would love them. Great quality and cute.
Cons
cannot think of one con
Other Thoughts
Pros
Small package of assorted sizes and colors. It's like a grab bag of color.
Cons
The downside to a "grab bag of color" is that no two orders are alike. So if you want to make a "set" of something, just order a full sheet.
Other Thoughts
Pros
I am currently waiting on my 4th or 5th shipment of these! They make great fused glass cabochons - no need to spend a ton of time at the grinder, making circular shapes.
Cons
It would be nice if there were a package containing more than 6.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Exactly what I needed. Easy to use.
Cons
Wish the lead-free solder was easier to work with, but this works well enough without being completely lead.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Black backing works well for my piece and the packaging makes for easy use.
Cons
Seems a little thin, but doesn't rip, so it's not a big con.
Other Thoughts
Pros
You get so much! It is easy to use and you have varying options for what size you want. I used it and I did not smell it at all as I heard you might. It tacked down easily and stayed in place. It was easy to remove and was clean the residue.
Cons
I am really new to fused glass and it would have been nice to have an instruction sheet. However, It turns out it really is so easy. But I would have liked some reassurance that I was using it the right way.
Other Thoughts
Pros
I can spray paint base in any color I want. Complete product with everything needed.
Cons
Adds to the price of my lamps before I even start.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Great product! I would suggest watching someone do this first before attempting it yourself, there are a few tricks to getting this right the first time! The right laser printer also helps!
Cons
None!
Other Thoughts
Pros
Finally, a fused glass artist can make paperweights that look as good as the blown glass ones. Love it! Love it!
Cons
There is nothing bad about this mold.
Other Thoughts
Make sure you kiln wash this mold after every use.
Pros
Nice large area to work on no matter how big your project is. Great at grinding right into your glass no matter how thick it is as the motor is very strong. It has a drain plug and I do not need to move the grinder to drain it as I drain it at the work bench right into a pitcher, I have had four grinders and this one is the Cadillac of them all!
Cons
Gets area a bit wet
Other Thoughts
Keep it Clean and rinse out though the drain plug.
