Pros
This is my most favorite and best selling scope. Fun & easy to make and always the 1st to go.

Cons
It would be nice to be able to specify the color preference of the rod.

Other Thoughts
I'd like to purchase the rings (jump and 0-ring) without the mirror in bulk.

Pros
No gluing, no grouting... This project yields professional-looking results. I've been making coasters for years using this method with great success.

Cons
None of which I am aware.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I started out using shelf paper...liked it, but WAY TOO expensive if you do any amount of firing!! Than ordered a 'lesser' kiln wash, and was EXTREMELY disappointed! After talking to one of Delphi's awesome customer support people, he hands down recommended Primo Primer for any/all firing needs. We tried it, and have been using it ever since! LOVE IT!! The price is awesome for how long a container lasts....follow the directions, although I like to mix my wash a little thicker (heavier on the Primo Primer powder) so as to assure a nice fire and guarantee no sticking. I always prime, than dry in the oven (if I am on a tight schedule), or just leave air dry for at least 1 day, so as to assure that the shelf is definitely dry. It's awesome, give it a try!!

Cons
Really none....

Other Thoughts
You get what you pay for.....meaning, if you try a lesser expensive kiln wash, you may not have much success when you fire! If you use Primo Primer, you will be consistently pleased with your final product!!

Pros
I found these to be great for sifting on color, Nice intensity and the color stays. Easier to use then powdered frits and you need less to get good color.

Cons
When mixed with a medium for painting they're chunky and don't paint well.

Other Thoughts

Pros
It always burns off in the kiln....I made the mistake of buying cheaper glue that claimed it burned off, and ended up with pieces that had blue haze all over them, it was VERY disappointing, so I learned my lesson fast!! I will NEVER stray from using this, since I work too hard on a glass piece to have it end up looking like complete junk when it's done! If left to totally dry (which you SHOULD!!), it actually has a reasonable amount of adhesive strength...personally, I don't like to touch my pieces much after they are finished and dry (other than to transfer them to sometimes needing to move them to a kiln shelf!), so I have never seen a true problem with the amount of adhesive strength it offers when dry!

Cons
Yes, it is runny, but the other kind I have tried was too! So, is it really a con, or is it just what one should expect when using a glass fusing glue?!?!

Other Thoughts
Basically, it's the only glue that I truly trust to burn off every time!! Yes, it's runny, but others I have tried are as well....this is really one area where you simply can't cut corners and go with a cheaper option=YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!

Pros
I love Glassline paint! I saw it in the catalog and decided to try it. It's great for drawing on glass. It gives different effects than using just cut glass. I love to draw. I wish I had tried it long ago!! The texture of the paint after firing is interesting against the shiny glass--a real plus.

Cons
None

Other Thoughts

Pros
The microwave kiln is a wonderful way to learn if fusing is for you. I have had mine for 2 weeks and have been making some fantastic items. I wasn't sure I wanted a kiln but now I am saving for one. I will still use the microwave kiln just because you can do so much with it and the waiting to see what you have done is so short. It is worth the money as long as you understand you will only be able to do small items in it.

Cons
The instructions could be a little better as far as letting you know what glass is fusible in it. I had to contact a friend to find out just how much experimenting I could do being totally new to fusing. Could also give a little more info on adjusting fusing times depending on the watts of your microwave, I over fused my first piece and left some major screwed up places in my kiln but it is still working great.

Other Thoughts
I would totally recommend anyone who is considering a kiln or who just wants to play around with out putting out big bucks to try this kiln. I teach mosaics and now several of my students have decided they want to try a microwave kiln too. It is very addicting once you start fusing you don't want to stop!

Pros
I have made hundreds of these hummers, always a winner!

Cons
The only thing that irks me is the plastic shrink wrap they are sealed in- it takes care to not break a beak or hook when removing the wrap.

Other Thoughts

Pros
It is simple to use and does work wonderfully! I purchased this because my big kiln broke and I had some jewelry orders to fill. Took no more than 4 minutes in the microwave with 40 minutes of cooling time to produce just what I needed. I will definitely continue to use this in the future for small projects or just making 1 or 2 pieces. I recommend using the Thinfire Shelf paper instead of what is supplied because of the rough back it creates. Thinfire definitely makes a smoother back.

Cons
Finished edges are a little rough but can use grinder to smooth them.

Other Thoughts
I recommend this for a beginner or casual hobbyist because of the inexpensive price tag. The total area is perfect for jewelry.

Pros
great mold love the pattern

Cons
NONE

Other Thoughts
Yep want a larger size

Pros
Love this mold Just love it Now I wish they made a 12" square one.

Cons
NONE

Other Thoughts

Pros
This glass worked wonderful for the cave of my piece titled "The lat Dragon"

Cons
Expensive

Other Thoughts

Pros
It does work and is easy to do

Cons
The colors aren't as brilliant as I would like

Other Thoughts

Pros
Easy and beautiful. A quickie gift to make for a hummingbird lover.

Cons
none

Other Thoughts
Flip the wings backwards and it looks like a hummer that is ready to attack!

Pros
I loved all the glass in the pkg. Each and every one is an added bonus to my collection.

Cons
none

Other Thoughts
should have bought 4 pkgs

Pros
Best all around grinder! Has the power and performance to top the rest in hobby or pro! The pump squirts water on the small bit which is why I bought it for using it to clean up the inside of glass letters. You can direct the spray right on the bit!

Cons
just the way the glass protective shield is mounted is a mystery to me at first glance. Also, the roller guide is hard to figure out how to assemble at first take.

Other Thoughts
Best on the market well worth the price!

Pros
I received this kit yesterday and assembled it in a few hours. I have never used this type of lead came before but found it quite useful and quick. I love not having to cut and grind all those little pieces. A real time saver.

Cons
I wish there were an extra leaf or flower bud since after it was finished I held it up and noticed I had cracked the glass on one of the leafs and now may have a time matching the exact glass. I don't think I can live with it even as a beginner I have never cracked any glass.
