Product Reviews
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
Pros
Comfortable, sturdy and adjustable.
What I like best about this cutter is how the adjustable saddle fits against my palm.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
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.
Pros
The best I've used. Even melt-smooth finish. I use with a gel type flux. Seems to work the best with a hot tip
Cons
Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Very easy to assemble.
Great Suncatcher for gifts to musical people.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Pros
Really prepares the solder to accept patina evenly and richly. I was hooked the first time I used it.
Cons
Don't really have any.
Other Thoughts
Pros
don't have to grind after you cut a piece out. will cut tiny pieces
Cons
blades break to easy for me, after breaking 3 blades I am afriad of it. that gets real costly
Other Thoughts
I wish I could use mine without breaking blades. I do love the saw.
Pros
Very large border nice for door.
Cons
Didn't like the way they were packed for shipping. They had slipped out of their wrappings by the time they got to me. But luckily no damage.
Other Thoughts
You can also separate these pieces and make two smaller frames.
Pros
I really love the Elegant Corners and what a deal.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
I like the way they're shipped on cardboard and shrunk wrapped, no damage during shipping to Alaska.
Pros
Great for repetitive cuts, consistent score angle, overall well built.
Cons
The protractor will get you close but I found it's best to double check your settings (i.e. 45 degrees) with something more accurate to make sure you're getting the angle you really want. I also had to clean glass chips out of the carrier so the cutter would move up and down freely, but both of these are minor distractions, great product!
Other Thoughts
Pros
this is a wonderful way to stretch lead came. I like the way that you attach it to the end of your work table where it is out of the way, but yet handy enough to use. Just 1 tap with a hammer to set it & one can pull it to stretch it with no problems.
Cons
there is just 1 hole to screw it into the workbench. it would be nice if there was 2, but 1 seems to be working.
Other Thoughts
it comes in very handy to stretch the lead came out, especially when using it a lot.
Pros
I was pleased to find Armour Etch Cream to work very well on tiny lines in the Rub n Etch stencils. I was concerned about bleeding under the edges, but both products worked well together. I agree with the other reviews that you must be very careful to secure your mastic, tape or Rub n Etch to avoid bleed-under.
Cons
Sometimes, the surface does not appear evenly etched.
Other Thoughts
I prefer sand-blasted etching, but in many cases, this paste works better with less mess.
Pros
perfect size, easy to work with, nice price
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
Works perfectly in the Firebox8. Kiln wash was no problem to add. Did it's job perfectly in the Kiln.
Pros
Upon receipt of these bevels, I directly used them in a set of Three Window Transoms. I was pleased with the flowing curved lines and balanced design. I would refer these bevels to others for their beauty and elegance to complete large panel pieces that need a special flair.
Cons
No cons that I perceived per my usage.
Other Thoughts
Pros
These bevels give the finishing touch for any of the GST bevel clusters. These bevels are well matched to the GST cartoons and are easy to work with.
Cons
The clear leaves bevels are nice but I would like to see them in a variety of colors to complement the different colors of many GST bevel clusters.
