Pros
I love this color. It truly is metallic, but not glittery. I also have the Metallic Copper Glassline pen and like the Gold so much better. The gold is the same consistency as the other colors, which is a positive.

Cons
None. Be sure to shake VERY WELL to get the best consistency and color.

Other Thoughts
Used this a ton at Christmas time!

Pros
keeps glass off of you and the pockets are nice for tools

Cons
I don't like the way the tie keeps coming out.

Other Thoughts

Pros
makes saw work

Cons
cost is to much

Other Thoughts
if the blade is put on wrong in the least bit it will break, very expensive lesson

Pros
My customers love these!

Cons
Attractive. Attaches better than the old style "leaf" bails.

Other Thoughts

Pros
This mold has nice smooth curves. I love it for 10 inch square dishes.

Cons
I can't think of any.

Other Thoughts
Great product!

Pros
I have tried many projects in this book. The directions and colored pictures are wonderful. Many projects for quick to make gifts when you need something fast. The square beads look great alone or with a watch face. Start early for the holidays of 2010.

Cons
I can't really say I have any cons. I have been so happy with these new ideas that have been new to me.

Other Thoughts

Pros
These are outstanding. very easy to use. lot's of uses for these pens.

Cons
none

Other Thoughts
also check out the paints

Pros
I used iridescent transparent glass to make flower mosaic on front. Plastic insert was already cut in coin slot. Used diamond grinder to make small adjacent hole and dropped in night light. Grand-dgtr. loved this combo night-light-bank for her bedroom

Cons
Plastic insert doesn't always fit well and requires some grinding on opening. Minor problem.

Other Thoughts
Without the plastic insert, makes a beautiful vase. Would have rated a 5 but my new blocks do not have coin slot, just a small hole.

Pros
Very nice.

Cons
none.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Reduction glass, like raku, gets more beautiful colors in my hot head than in my mini-CC. My hot head torch also gives me more glass control than my hotter mini-CC which makes it superior (IMO) for doing detailed designs in glass.

Cons
It is loud.

Other Thoughts

Pros
very reliable product: doesn't flake apart in the torch, isn't too hard to remove bead later.

Cons
The product settles and needs to be re-mixed when you first get it. Not an easy job!

Other Thoughts

Pros
Fairly easy project for beginners still learning the ins & outs of lead soldering.

Cons
No real cons.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I made a few casted "tiles" with the intention of cutting them into smaller squares. I couldn't cut them into squares with my standard tools - so I asked my husband to help. He couldn't get them to break either. The Power Breaker broke them with such little pressure that it almost startled me. Well worth the money!!

Cons
It's a little expensive, but in my opinion, it worth it.

Other Thoughts

Pros
With Rubyfulid flux, the solder always sticks to the copper foil and not the glass, leaving no mess and a quick, easy, smooth solder seam.

Cons
You are advised to keep it off of your skin, and wash your hands well after using--but the Pros far outweigh the Cons.

Other Thoughts
I tried other flux but it made a mess of the solder and took too much of my time to clean it up and make it look good. I switched back to Ruby in a hurry.
