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.

Other Thoughts

Pros
Fine for temperature control. Solid build. Good length cord to give that extra length for your iron.

Cons
It needs some method of having a memory point to quickly dial to for your favorite heat settings.

Other Thoughts
Could expand unit to be a station with iron holder and tray. It would also be nice to be able to plug in two irons so when one gets pushed and needs to build heat back up, another is there at the ready.

Pros
great decals and so easy to use, gives a beautiful look to black or other dark colored glass, these decals fuse perfect every time

Cons
be careful to make sure these are centered, it is a bit hard to see when placing them, cut close to the decal

Other Thoughts

Pros
Everything you need to get started to making beautiful beads, great starter kit

Cons
only con is you should be able to choose what coe you would like in the starter kit,

Other Thoughts

Pros
I've been using Spooled lead came now for several years. One of the big advantages is the minimum space required to store the lead. I can easily keep several widths on hand. When the lead is stretched it is equal in quality to the traditional came.

Cons
I've found no negative aspect to the spooled lead.

Other Thoughts

Pros
easily repairs broken bisque slump mold for glass fusion

Cons
none that I experienced

Other Thoughts
between Delphi's great customer service and this product I was able to repair an expensive slump mold that I had broken into 3 pieces. Bisque fix quickly "glued" the broken pieces together and since mold has been refired in ceramic kiln, mold is as good as new. Saved me a bunch of $$$$.

Pros
Perfect for making jewelry with dichroic glass accents. Easy to use and mold. Possibilities are endless.

Cons
No negatives I can think of.
