Pros
I used these bails this past winter. I glued them on the back of the Pate DeVere snowflake molds and then tied ribbon on them. They made wonderful gifts.

Cons
None

Other Thoughts

Pros
The strip pro attachment makes it extremely easy and smooth to cut multiple strips at a time. This systems is simple and accurate. I am able to cut large pieces, too.

Cons
No real cons for this item. It's really great!

Other Thoughts
Anyone with problems with hand fatigue from doing a lot of cutting, will appreciate the padded grip. A pistol grip style cutter puts your hand in a cramped position. With this one, you just push the cutter with it's padded handle and very little pressure. Smooth!

Pros
Perfect for doing 4 panel lamp shades.

Cons
None

Other Thoughts

Pros
Easy to use nippers make clean and smooth cuts through glass rods. Great for cutting cane into custom sized millifiori

Cons
May take a little practice to get a feel for this tool

Other Thoughts
A must have tool for every flameworker.

Pros
Yields good leaf components to use with the other Colour de Verre flower molds. To really use these molds, you need to buy Jayne Persico's book on Glass Kiln Casting. I really only got into these molds after I took a class with Jayne, and she showed us some examples of what you can do with the molds.

Cons
You have to follow the directions carefully. Each mold has specific directions for fill weights that require a digital kitchen scale, and a specific type of primer for the mold (Hot Line Primo primer). To use the mold, you also need to have these other supplies/tools on hand and follow the firing instructions given.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I love the bright consistent look of the patina after using the Patina Buddy. Works really well on older projects that have darkened, if you want to put patina on something that has turned dark gray instead of silver. I never use patina without it!

Cons
If you are not careful, you can scratch your solder.

Other Thoughts

Pros
I love this glass as the base for many of my glass fusion projects. Not only does it add more interest than using clear glass, it's thick enough that I don't feel I need to use two pieces as the base before I add my design. It cuts and breaks well.

Cons
I can't think of anything I don't like about this glass.

Other Thoughts

Pros
This combo quickly became my favorite glass. Every project I have done with it has turned out beautifully. I've used it for pendants, platters, bowls and more. I love the chocolate streaks with a hint of blueish white. I'm ordering several more full sheets of this one.

Cons
I've found that a high temperature (1550 and above) gives the shiniest, smoothest finish. The lower temperatures result in a more matte finish.

Other Thoughts
I hope the company develops other color combinations similar to this one.

Pros
It's a good kit for beginners. Everything you need to get started to see if you like flameworking.

Cons
I didn't like the glasses. I would have preferred the kit to include Didymium glasses. The glasses that come with the kit are too dark.
