Silver On Thin Clear - 90 COE by jellybug on April 3, 2009 5 stars
Pros
This is the dichroic glass I use most -- not only does it impart a beautiful sparkle on top, but it turns any transparent glass into a dichroic-looking glass when used as a base layer!
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
When marking with a sharpie, be sure to mark on the non-coated side. Marker does not like to come off the dichroic coating!

Small 4-1/2" Stand Up Mold by mt.view on April 2, 2009 5 stars
Pros
Great mold once you figure out a pattern. At first was disappointed about the size, now I keep coming up with more and more ideas!
Cons
Poor directions. Once you start playing with the mold, you won't run out of ideas!

Complete Beetle Bits Starter Kit by Kelley R on April 1, 2009 5 stars
Pros
Easy to put together. I have zero experience cutting glass, and wow! this was easy! I first cut too deep but on my second try, I went from amateur to pro. Okay, maybe not pro but it was easy. Thank goodness because I don't follow instructions very well...lol.
Cons
Husband was mad because I ran out of glass the first night and it was too late to go get more and he was annoyed because I wanted to use the fish tank or one of the upstairs windows so I could feed my new addiction. Actually the only con is I have a heck of a time adjusting that little screw when going between thick glass and thin glass but maybe I just haven't got a knack for that.
Other Thoughts
I can't wait to get started on trying to cut other things than squares but that is all I really need right now but who knows what will happen next week!...Is it possible to build a house out of glass? tee hee

Bullseye Crystal Clear Double Rolled - 90 COE by OrangeCota on April 1, 2009 4 stars
Pros
Very smooth and clear, gives pieces a well-polished finish. Put on top of your plates, jewelry and etc. for the perfect finish.
Cons
Thick, can be hard to cut. Just make sure you score well and clean.
Other Thoughts
The perfect clear glass layer!

10" Round Candle Holder Stand by jasumo on April 1, 2009 5 stars
Pros
The light shines through the glass beautifully! It doesn't overwhelm the piece as you can't see the candle. Absolutely lovely!
Cons
None.
Other Thoughts
This is a lovely way to display your work, especially at night when the light flickers behind it showing off the subtleties of the glass.

Morton Glass Caddy by makingfunn on March 30, 2009 5 stars
Pros
Love it on my table top for smaller pieces of glass. Holds many pieces.
Cons
Would like it to have a non-slip surface for the glass to rest on.

Universal Face Shield Support by jannybug on March 30, 2009 5 stars
Pros
This is the most useful face shield support I've ever seen. You can cut the glass to any dimension you wish and the glass won't scratch as easily as acrylic. I purchased a super-sized magnifying glass and am using that as my glass shield. It fit the support perfectly. To get it into focus, I was able to raise the grinder a little by placing it on a board.
Cons
The shield's design allows infinite possibilities for creative ideas. If I could change one thing, perhaps an adjustable support would result in a perfect product. However, it's very easy to just raise the grinder if the support seems too tall.

Pros
Easy way to make earrings.

Sometimes they can be difficult to work with because of their size. But it's really no big deal...after you attached one or two it becomes easier.
