Pros
Easy to use, lots of ideas in kit.

Cons
The screw that holds the length adjustment is somewhat difficult- should be more user friendly.

Other Thoughts
Very stable once you have the screw tightened. A learning curve for first timers, but easy and fun. I experimented, and instead of using the candle, I used my embossing heat gun (used for card stamping), and it worked great! Terrific results and no carbon ring to clean up -- and no open flame to deal with. Also, I did not use the 'ice cube' to cool the score line. I filled a bucket with water and submerged the bottle. A good point that was brought up on bottle cutting (when I did an online search) is that most of the bottles we work with are 'cheap' made and therefore the thickness and 'roundness' is not consistent. Don't give up -- just throw it out and try again on another bottle. (*Make sure to remove any labels and glue in the way-- a clean bottle breaks much better!) Lastly, all breaks have some uneven-ness even after sanding and using the polishing powder. One trick I found is after I do that, I use a glass etching cream in the shiny areas of the cut for consistent

Pros
fairly easy to use, pretty much the only way to add intricate cut-out shapes to fused glass besides dichro slide

Cons
I find "crinkle" and "spatter" next to useless. Wish I didn't have to pay for them. Looks like paper. I know, that's the point, but somehow it cheapens the look of the glass, like paper floating inside glass isn't possible, so people think it must be resin.

Other Thoughts
Would like this product to be available in solid colors only. Paying for 10 sheets I have no use for wastes $20 and I think it would keep me from buying more. A pack of 15 different solid colors is what is needed. The long hold at 1000 degrees I think can be shortened dramatically for small, pendant size pieces. Wrinkling is an issue, but in my application that worked to my advantage.

Pros
From the photo, I had no idea how large of a capacity these sifters really are. I was expecting them to be smaller and was pleasantly surprised. I like the solid quality, too.

Cons
None yet, but see "Other Thoughts".

Other Thoughts
A handle on each sifter cup would have been useful for those of us with reduced hand strength and flexibility. Handles would also allow the glass to sift from one cup to the one below, while shaken as a unit.

Pros
It does the job and is reliable

Cons
none

Other Thoughts

Pros
Very stable support for stained glass projects

Cons
none

Other Thoughts
I have found no other pins that are as good

Pros
If you want a strong orange, this is it. Its just slightly brighter than the orange Dodge Charger (Dukes of Hazzard car). Cuts beautifully, has good image distortion.

Cons
If you don't want a strong orange, stay away!
