Micro Jewelry Drill Bit 6-Pack by pattymavor on February 8, 2010 4 stars
Pros
I liked the variety of sizes. Makes drilling tiny holes a breeze.
Cons
Don't last very long. Made it through maybe 8 single layer (1/8") pieces. I thought using molding clay for a dam and using water helped, but still went through them pretty quickly.

Aanraku Frit Piston by Keith H on February 8, 2010 4 stars
Pros
The pipe within a pipe keeps the blade positioned well. Unlike other frit makers this one concentrated the force on a blade allowing glass to be ground easier.
Cons
The piston acts like a pump blowing fine glass dust up toward your face. I removed the handle from the piston and attached a Floor flange and a length of pipe. Now I use it like a butter churn. This greatly improves the grinding action and gets the clouds of dust away from your face. I also sand blasted all the paint off the piston and chamber but still get some iron filings.
Other Thoughts
I also recommend you take a file to the handles since mine had Sharpe burs that could cut my hands

Mica Powder Assortment by Lorka9 on February 8, 2010 4 stars
Pros
lots of powder in each pack - will go a long way. I mixed mine with Klyr-Fire; great consistency for stenciling and painting. Can use to outline or bleed area. Be sure to cap with clear and you'll get a great effect
Cons
none

Youghiogheny Autumn Gold, Yellow, and Green Reproduction by Mindenskye on February 5, 2010 5 stars
Pros
Lovely glass, cuts very smoothly and breaks accurately. A joy to work with. Nice pattern that adds a lot of interest.
Cons
The glass was not as green as shown in the picture - more brown and gold.
Other Thoughts
I really like Youghiogheny glass. It is a true high quality glass. Never fails me.

5/32" Clear No Days Glaze by sewfun21 on February 4, 2010 5 stars
Pros
fast, easy, no mess, you can choose to affix the came as you go or all at the end once your product it put together, no special equipment required except for an inexpensive heat gun.
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
I have been doing stained glass for several years and tried No Days Glaze for the first time last week. This product is great! It worked perfectly the first time I tried it. It's fast, easy and no mess what so ever as in the cement/whiting method . I'm not sure what the other reviewer was referring to about the glue showing. I had no problem at all with it oozing. As I mentioned earlier, it worked perfectly the very first time I tried it. I absolutely love this product! I will never go back to using cement/whiting.

Glassline Pen - White by tanyabrennan (top contributor) on February 4, 2010 5 stars
Pros
I love the glassline pens. They are so easy to use. This white is a "creamy" white color, which I like instead of bright white like liquid paper. I have fired this at different temps and really like the results. At approx 1400 (for me) it leaves a bit of a rough surface if placed on top of the glass. I like that effect, but if you want it smooth, I would suggest a Full Fuse.
Cons
Be sure to shake VERY WELL, otherwise you may have separation. I always squeeze some out on paper before applying to my work. First squeeze may be a bit watery.
Other Thoughts
Make sure to get the glassline pen tips. They are assorted sizes. Otherwise the opening on the pen is a medium-thick line. You can get much finer detail with the tips.
