Product Reviews
Pros
Contrary to the first review, I found this glass to be awesome for creating Fall Foliage such as trees on a peninsula beside a lighthouse. The various shades of red, amber and green mixed with the speckled mottling mimicked the irregular natural form of a forest dressed in Fall apparel.
Cons
My only complaint with this glass is in uniform with other mottled glass in that it is soft to cut, therefore breaks easily. I had to be careful on long cuts to avoid breakage. In fact, the first shipment was in pieces. Once I settled down and used a gentle touch, the outcome was exactly what I was wanting.
Other Thoughts
I mixed this with avocado green mottled Y4300HS, emerald green mottled Y4004HS and smoky amber stippled for which I did not have a catalog number. Combining these four types of glass created a forest scene that appears very close to reality. Otherwise, Delphi would do well to make another picture for the web site and catalog. I agree with the first review that this picture does not favor the real thing, which is actually much more attractive.

Pros
If you are not likely to use very much glue and do not want to have to open a new large tube, then this is the way to buy your E6000!
Cons
Not the most economic way to purchase this product.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Have got perfect pendants each time, even the first and I've never fused before! I got the extra fusing kit for more glass to supplement and that gives plenty to work with. Don't go at it like a bull at a gate - slow and steady gives great results. Fire for 3 mins as suggested then 30sec increments until fused how you like (1000 watt microwave).
Cons
None yet! I suspect I may outgrow the kiln size but that was the intention when getting the starter kit.
Other Thoughts
The instructions aren't that detailed but I have found a lot of info on the net. One interesting fact I only saw on one site is that fused glass wants to fuse to 1/4" high - meaning if you stack it higher it will flatten out and if you have a flatter stack it will shrink up to 1/4".
Pros
The piece I received was a nice color, though the color is more emerald green to me than the picture lets on.
Cons
None other than the color is not true to the picture on this one. I know it's difficult to get a pic of what glass truly looks like.

Pros

Pros
It is look good and great idea. I like it to use.
Cons
I bought three of them, and excited to attach fused glass piece, then while I glue one of glass, arm apart from the circle top!
I figured out small screw was missing, other two of them was fine that point. I start using them it is works great, so I think it should be great gift, then just now (about two weeks used) their arm apart from circle top, Yes small screw is gone.
I like this hanger but if user have to check and tighten screw every week it is kind hustle.
Do anyone have good idea? for keep screw in position.

Pros
dispenser pack
Cons
adhesive sometimes releases when soldering
Other Thoughts
I have been working in stained glass for 16 years and teaching for 11 years. I really enjoy the dispenser pack and the lower price of this foil. I find that the adhesive does begin to ooze a bit after a beginner has been 'tweaking' their solder lines a bit much. But, this also happens with other brands of foil. The black backed foils seems to be more obvious. I do not have problems with it not adhering to the glass from the beginning of the foiling process. I will repurchase this product in lieu of the more expensive brand.
