Pros
I have the basic version of Glass Eye 2000 and it does a great job. I mostly copy patterns or other backgrounds and the program allows me to convert them into the cartoons needed to produce panels. I have been using Glass Eye for many years, and other than not having the features that I didn't purchase, I couldn't be more satisfied. It would be nice to have a workable auto-trace instead of having to do it by hand.

Cons
I had to purchase Glass Eye 2000 as there was no upgrade available for my ancient original version of the program.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I found this cutter to work very nicely. You do need to put something down to keep the glass from sliding around. I used a thin piece of rubbery shelf-type pad which actually came with another cutting system I had. This did the trick. Scores circles easily and smoothly but I still haven't found the best way to pop out the circles and have nice smooth edges. This would not be a problem with the cutter though - just me :)

Cons
Needs a little tweaking - see above.

Other Thoughts
Need to keep an eye on the cutter, that it stays screwed in tight and isn't loose. All in all, I am very satisfied and find it easier than any other circle cutting system I have tried.

Pros
Waited too long to buy!! Like everyone says keeps wet area to a minimum. Tall enough and water bottle is a great reserve.

Cons
Wish wings were longer. My bottle did not come with tapered tip on hose shown in picture? Would have been helpful as now I have to use a tie wrap to secure hose to grinding area!!

Other Thoughts

Pros
Very pleased with this software. The tutorial is excellent and really gives you a jump start on using the program. I do a lot of trace and modify which is much easier than using paper and white out.

Cons
None

Other Thoughts

Pros
Great for making straight lines on glass plates

Cons
Easy to use - perfect for fusing

Other Thoughts

Pros
I wish I had had this when I finished my 21x35 window panel. It is so simple to use and gets the flux off instantly! It doesn't smell and works fast. I will never be without it.

Cons
I haven't found any.

Other Thoughts

Pros
The package is nice, easy to pull the foil out if you secure it to the table with push pins. Really easy to burnish.

Cons
Once you pull the foil out, it is nearly impossible to get it back in to store it.

Other Thoughts

Pros
a delightful pink and when the light hits it the green is reflected as well, a crowd pleasing selling point!

Cons
no cons

Other Thoughts

Pros
This is a great software for the beginner or pro. Easy to use out of the box. I can scan in a basic pattern from a book and trace it into the program in 5 min. including coloring and resizing. I've taken complex pictures from my camera, traced and colored in 45 min. Resizing is easy and accurate. The library designs are nice, but I do mostly original. Customers love that we can choose colors to get an idea of the effects. Color changes are easy. Can email jpgs for approval. Nothing like a signed approval before committing to a $1500 window. As far a customer service, I never needed them till last month when the computer crashed and I had to reload. They had me back running in one phone call.

Cons
Like all CAD software you need to design clean and make all lines connect. Its just good drafting habits or you will spend a little time to get all your pieces to take color. The colors are not exact but no picture does stained glass justice. Like everyone I've changed out my share of glass. The program may seem pricey if your used to free ware but I can use a $99 printer and print a 40" x 40" pattern by tiling and taping. It saved me from buying a $6,000 plotter and plotter paper. The software paid for its self on the first window, and I wrote the up-grade off on my taxes the next year. If your computer crashes you need to call them for a re-load but its no big deal.

Other Thoughts
This program makes me money.

Pros
Quick and easy to use. Great results.

Cons
May scratch on occasion during application.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Good product for the money.

Cons
Would be helpful if clips came with the kit.

Other Thoughts
Be sure to order clips (separately)too! They don't come with the base and bulb as I thought they did.

Pros
It's a nice size for a small kiln and my piece turned out just as I expected

Cons
None

Other Thoughts

Pros
Produces nice images on glass.

Cons
It would be nice to have firing instructions with the paper.

Other Thoughts

Pros
This stuff is wonderful! Had a piece of glass that one of the pins from the top of the kiln had fallen off on during the cooling stage so it didn't crack the glass totally but left a mark like what happens when your windshield gets hit by a rock. I sprayed this on and full fused the piece again, you can't even tell where the mark was - love this this.

Cons
None so far
