Youghiogheny Greens Stipple by TracieP on March 15, 2010 4 stars
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.

Round Top Purse Hanger by mikalogan on March 12, 2010 4 stars
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.

7/32" Silver Backed Studio Pro Foil - 1.0 Mil by Jennifer A on March 9, 2010 4 stars
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.

Glass Stops - 5 pack by lakesideles on March 8, 2010 5 stars
Pros
A great addition to the Morton Glass Cutting System. I label stops that I consistently use, so having extra stops makes my work more flexible and less tedious. I have several sets for different projects.
Cons
NONE!
Other Thoughts
For projects that are repeatedly used, set the stops firmly and label them with the length they are set at so you don't have to keep resetting them. Buy extra stops for other projects that need to have the stops adjusted.

Mica Powder Assortment by Judi M on March 7, 2010 4 stars
Pros
Can add an awesome dimension to glass. A little goes a long way.
Cons
Wasn't quite sure what to do with it when I purchased it, wished it came with some instructions.
Other Thoughts
I put the copper mica on a single piece of orange glass and wiped it off with a paper towel. After it was fired it reminded me of the carnival glass that my Grandma had in her house.

Floral Tapestry Ceramic Texture Tile Mold by Rebecca S on March 7, 2010 4 stars
Pros
I found the texture to be subtle, yet very pretty. Well made and easy to use.
Cons
I would have preferred the carving to be a bit deeper...more pronounced. I'd also like to see some documentation with this product...kiln wash recommendation, suggested firing, etc.
Other Thoughts
All in all a very nice mold.

Hot Head Bead Making Kit by Jillopy on March 6, 2010 4 stars
Pros
I had been to a bead making class and got hooked! It was hard to source in NZ so bought from Delphi and service was great. Kit has good range of glass and tools.
Cons
The mandrels are pretty big - I've ordered the 1/16th" ones to replace these - they leave the hole in the bead too wide which you can see on jewelry pieces. Also the sludgey stuff dries out - I've found adding water and stirring well brings it back to life.
Other Thoughts
Like others more detailed instructions would be good - although I ended up checking out heaps of stuff on youtube and that worked great!

Bullseye GlasTac Firing Glue - 4 oz by glassrocks on March 6, 2010 4 stars
Pros
Dries slowly, allows repositioning, and because it burns off, you don't have to re-clean the glass every time you move a piece. Best used for frit and small pieces of glass. The bond is really only a "tack" and a little goes a long way.
Cons
Not a strong adhesive, and does not work well on larger pieces of glass, as the slightest jostling -- like moving to the kiln -- will dislodge anything along the rim.
Other Thoughts

Bullseye GlasTac Firing Glue - 32 OZ by glassrocks on March 6, 2010 5 stars
Pros
A fusing staple, it is best used for frit and small pieces of glass. It is easy to use and a little goes a long way. It is slow to dry, and burns off cleanly, so if you do reposition a piece you usually do not have to clean re-clean the glass every time you move a piece.
Cons
It is not a strong adhesive, which is both good and bad: it's easy to change your mind and remove a piece long after it has dried, but if used on larger pieces, particularly around the edges of a piece, the bond is lost by a very slight jostling, such as the mere process of putting the piece in the kiln.

Bullseye Thinfire Shelf Paper - 20-1/2" x 20-1/2" Sheet by tanyabrennan (top contributor) on March 6, 2010 5 stars
Pros
I love the convenience of having this paper pre-cut!!! I have a 24" kiln and it fits perfectly. It is also easier to handle than a huge roll. You can break down the pieces to be smaller without having to have a huge table to roll the paper out onto for cutting. It is WAY easier to store also. I love the print on the back that automatically shows you the correct side for firing. VERY HANDY
Cons
Does stick more to the back of glass than a prior thinfire paper I was using. I feel that it is only good for one firing (contrary to other reviews).
Other Thoughts
Great product! I will continue to use it even though it is more expensive, the convenience is worth it!

1/16" Fiber Paper - 24" x 24" by tanyabrennan (top contributor) on March 6, 2010 4 stars
Pros
No need to prep kiln shelf with wash over and over. Convenient. Cut to fit perfectly in a 24" kiln. LOVE THAT!
Cons
Rougher texture than I am used to with Fiber Paper. VERY thin, would not work for too many firings
Other Thoughts
I'm used to a thicker fiber paper which I feel has better air flow. It also can be used for many firings without so much waste.
