Autumn Assortment Fusible Paper - Fifteen 5" Sheets by penumbraglass on August 25, 2009 4 stars
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.

Frit Sifter by greencatglass on August 25, 2009 5 stars
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.

Spectrum Orange Rough Rolled by eharbage on August 20, 2009 4 stars
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!

Bullseye Thinfire Shelf Paper - 20-1/2" x 20-1/2" Sheet by deefuzion on August 19, 2009 5 stars
Pros
I love the way this fires. The backs of the pieces are nice and smooth. And..I wouldn't suggest this technique for large pieces, but sometimes I can get two/more firings out of this.
Cons
I have to cut it down for my kiln. But I save the pieces....makes for interesting patterns for unusual glass.

Table Foiler by quigleydog1 on August 18, 2009 5 stars
Pros
Living in a time in which products often don't live up to their hype, I'm amazed the Table Foiler performed as advertised. After 3 or 4 practice pieces I was foiling like a pro. I wish I had moved on from foiling by hand long before this.
Cons
NONE
Other Thoughts
One of the things I like most is that the bigger pieces are easier and help move through an otherwise boring procedure in record time. It's easy to patch when needed too.

Cons

Small Silver Plated Tube Bails - 5 pack by JoAnn A on August 18, 2009 5 stars
Pros
A great modern bail for those free style dichro pendants.
Cons
Must be wide pendant. Bail is too wide for some pendants.
