24" x 24" x 1/2" Homasote Board by aslan96 on June 17, 2010 5 stars
Pros
I have used a Homosote board for all of my stained glass projects. It is light weight yet sturdy, it is the perfect item for pinning down your work for layout or soldering. I also pin my Sal Ammoniac block to the board so it won’t slide around while I clean my soldering iron tip. The Homosote board also has the ability to “Self Heal’ older holes so it can be used over and over.
Cons
Wish they came in larger sizes such as 3' x 2'
Other Thoughts
Worth buying - don't do a stained glass project without one!

16 Gauge Black Jack Chain - 50 Ft. Roll by aslan96 on June 17, 2010 5 stars
Pros
This chain is very strong; it is currently holding a 22" by 12" stained glass piece without a problem. The color matches the black patina in the solder lines perfectly. This picture does not do it justice it has a silvery black sheen to it. It is well worth the buy.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
I will use this chain for many more projects it matches the black patina perfectly.

Bullseye Mega 45 lb. Glass Pack - 90 COE by Amy S on June 17, 2010 5 stars
Pros
Far out!
Cons
None.
Other Thoughts
The customer service rep was wrong when she told me this was a good value. It's a GREAT value!!! I'm a fusing newbie and knew I'd analyze everything to death trying to make a decision on which glasses to buy so I went with this mega pack, and I can't be more pleased! A nice variety of colors, all pieces are 10X10 sheets, and everything arrived intact. I priced out all the pieces I received based on the included Bullseye catalog and the value is incredible. I would/will order this mega pack again. Thanks!!

Miniscope Kit by nwwiswell (top contributor) on June 16, 2010 5 stars
Pros
Great first Kaleidoscope kit. Pretty easy to follow instructions.
Cons
Can't think of any cons.
Other Thoughts
This was my first kaleidoscope project. I used Spectrum red & white opal glass. I made 6 wheels all at once so that I would have them ready to use for the next ones. It turned out fantastic! Everyone loves it!

1/8" Diamond Copper Mesh by angelsun on June 15, 2010 5 stars
Pros
This mesh cuts easily, tins easily and solders easily. I was concerned about the diamond shapes filling in with solder over stained glass but it went on VERY easy. It was used in my project as spokes in a parasol. It's very economically priced and could be used in a variety of stained glass as well as other applications.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Look for this mesh in my upcoming projects :)

Spectrum Champagne Soft Waterglass by angelsun on June 15, 2010 5 stars
Pros
I bought this glass to add to my collection of pinks and almost sent it back as the color was so different from the color on my monitor. I ended up flipping it over to the smooth side and using it for flesh tones. It is the BEST flesh color that I've found. PERFECT!! Cuts easily and will definitely purchase again.
Cons
Color chip is WAY off on my various monitors. I would not list this under pinks but it is perfect for flesh tones.

Oceanside Clear with Green & Pink Fracture Streamers Hand-Rolled - 96 COE by angelsun on June 15, 2010 4 stars
Pros
In the right application, this is an absolutely gorgeous glass. It was perfect for my project and was used for a parasol with the rough side up. I would purchase again.
Cons
While it cut just fine, the flecks are not very deep down in the glass. There were many small pieces shattered with each cut. And despite taking extreme care, I ended up getting cut on the tiny shards. Ouch!
Other Thoughts
I'm saving every tiny piece for mermaids/fairies at a future date.

Oceanside Gold-Pink, White and Forest Green Mottle by angelsun on June 15, 2010 5 stars
Pros
This glass cuts easily and would be suitable for a variety of projects. It reminded me of silk, so I used it for a kimono and obi. My piece was mostly pink/aqua but very nicely balanced and worked out perfectly for my project.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Would definitely purchase again!! I can also see this working out well for fantasy themes.
