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.

Pros
I already have two of these, they work great. I never make beads without one.

Cons
Can be heavy, I shorted the handle and that helped.

Other Thoughts
I hold it upside down from the picture, easier to work with for me.

Pros
This mold is easy to use and very versatile

Cons
I didn't find any

Other Thoughts

Pros
It has a nice sparkle when capped in clear. Like a starry night.

Cons
It is a rough, not a smooth glass. Just be patient with your cutting and you'll love this glass.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Finally, some new bails to give our glass a dressed up look. Very pretty finish, larger than the conventional bail. looks good on larger pieces.

Cons
As they are large they don't go with smaller pendants.

Other Thoughts
I think these will be popular with my customers.

Pros
I like it. My foiling is consistently even. Yeah!

Cons
Doesn't work great on small pieces, and tight corners are tougher.

Other Thoughts

Pros
great

Cons
none
