Pistol-Grip TAP Wheel Supercutter by hummingaway (top contributor) on April 16, 2009 5 stars
Pros
This is the ace of cutters - nice and easy to grip! Always get a great cut
Cons
Sometimes leaks oil - you have to be careful how tight the closing screw is
Other Thoughts
I recommend this to other people in my stained glass class

Tip Set For Glassline Pens by tanyabrennan (top contributor) on April 15, 2009 5 stars
Pros
These are a must have for glassline pens. There are 3 different sizes provided. They allow you to get intricate details, whereas squeezing directly from the bottle would almost be impossible. The cleaners make clearing the dried paint from the tips so easy. I ordered extra tips just so I can have different sizes for each color handy.
Cons
It would be nice to have a cap that would top off the tips. When working with the tips the paint will dry quickly if you are not constantly using the product.
Other Thoughts
If you really get caked in paint in your tips, nail polish remover works great. Just soak them for awhile and you'll be able to get them clean.

Standard 180 Grit Grinder Disc by Johnsmith on April 15, 2009 4 stars
Pros
I love how quickly I can grind a flat edge. It makes it so easy to make parallel edges!
Cons
I have trouble making sure the area is wet so I occasionally hold a wet sponge on a larger piece that I am grinding.

6" Square Trivet by Rebecca P on April 14, 2009 5 stars
Pros
This trivet is just big enough to give you a good size to work on and use. I just love!! the iron banding around the edge--it really gives the end product a finished look. It's perfect for 3/8" tiles.
Cons
I would like a slightly bigger trivet to work on.

Armour Etch Cream - 3 oz by CCCreations (top contributor) on April 13, 2009 5 stars
Pros
I use this all the time in my jewelry designing with dichroic glass. It gives great results. Easy to use and is very quick. You are only limited to your imagination. It doesn't take much so it lasts a long time (in jewelry anyway.)
Cons
Not any really. Just leave on at least minimal amount of time.
Other Thoughts
Use with or without stencils for fine details.

Hotline Fiber Mold Hardener by goldfish on April 12, 2009 4 stars
Pros
Works great, gives long life to fiberboard. Relatively inexpensive.
Cons
Smells really bad & toxic when fumes are burned off together in kiln with fiberboard.
Other Thoughts
I tried firing the fiberboard alone in kiln first, then the board coated with mold hardener. Seems to work fine, and greatly cuts down on the overwhelming, combined bad smell.

Custom Grip TAP Wheel Supercutter by mjshaw2620 on April 12, 2009 5 stars
Pros
Comfortable to use, especially since it can be adjusted for different size hands. Requires much less effort than a pencil cutter, and allows, in my opinion, more control than a pistol grip cutter.
Cons
My only concern is that the cap tends to unscrew on my cutter, probably because I roll my cutter in my fingers so much.
Other Thoughts

Custom Grip TAP Wheel Supercutter by greysruleken on April 12, 2009 5 stars
Pros
Comfortable, sturdy and adjustable. What I like best about this cutter is how the adjustable saddle fits against my palm.
Cons
None

Glassline Pen - Black by tanyabrennan (top contributor) on April 11, 2009 5 stars
Pros
I have had great success with the glassline pens. They are a huge help when trying to get fine details on pieces. I love this product
Cons
If it is applied too thick, it can sometimes crack during firing.
Other Thoughts
Let the glassline dry before firing. You can then see if there is cracking and also if your lines have bled. It is easy to scrape off any excess with a toothpick.
