2 oz Red Silver Dichroic Frit on Clear - 90 COE by jdkober on October 28, 2009 5 stars
Pros
I use it with clear glass to create Christmas Ornaments. The dichroic coating shows through on both sides so it's perfect for them.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Plan to try using it with other transparent glass to see how it comes out.

7/32" Silver Backed Studio Pro Foil - 1.0 Mil by [email protected] on October 23, 2009 4 stars
Pros
this worked fine, was thick enough.
Cons
The heavy duty dispenser pack is a real waste of plastic. I'd rather pay less and have it in simple plastic bag like other foils.

Spectrum Baroque Peppermint Pink and White on Clear by candysnipe on October 21, 2009 5 stars
Pros
I am not a pink person but I love this glass! I have sold every piece I have made with this almost immediately because it is so striking.
Cons
A little pricey but all reds are, well worth it. My only gripe is that it is not compatible so I can't fuse it with anything.

Morton System Start-Up Kit by BehtesdaJim on October 21, 2009 5 stars
Pros
I use this system with almost every project I undertake. It allows you to score and break glass resulting in burr-free surfaces, which means less or no grinding, and much better foil adhesion. Overall, it is a welcome and necessary tool for me.
Cons
The user manual is unnecessarily confusing. The graphics often conflict with the text, and I find that I'll be 3 pages in on a subject, and then find a paragraph heading saying "Read this First." One would expect that on the first page, *before* the settings are made as instructed by the previous pages. Also, there's lots of "choose explanation B" unless you are left-handed, then choose option C, skipping steps 8-12, but step 11 will tell you it must not be skipped, and must be followed by Option B. Really, a thorough re-write of the manual by someone other than the original author would help *tremendously*.
Other Thoughts
The kit includes an instructional CD to help you understand the written instructions. Inexplicably, the CD is an *audio* CD and not a video showing the techniques. Further, the audio is just a literal reading of the printed manual, which doesn't aid in understanding at all. How difficult would it be to use a video camera and record mpgs of the procedures? All in all, I am glad I stuck through the learning curve for this system despite the confusing documentation. It really is a wonderful system to use, and is quickly becoming indispensable to me.
