Pros
I previously used came and scrap glass for fixturing projects. Now I’m not wasting time and came by cutting came blocks. Also, their color makes them very visible - less time searching the work table for components.

Pros
Nice smooth solder joints when soldering lead came.
Cons
Could be my technique, but when soldering zinc came with this product, the solder joints are not as smooth as when soldering lead came.
Other Thoughts
Pros
The product is straight, smooth, and flat with a clean groove.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Pros
This came is clean, shiny and solders well. It is compactly spiral-packaged in sealed bags to retard corrosion.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Like all lead came, it should be stretched to straighten and harden it.
Pros
great for pendants and earrings
Cons
can be tricky working around peg.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Beautiful mix of pinks greens and whites, with natural looking somewhat "muddy" blends
Cons
Tricky to cut--no entirely "smooth" side.
Other Thoughts
Buy spare of this glass if you're doing anything other than simple cuts--took quite a bit of trial and error despite all my tricks
Pros
Feature-rich, accurate, scalable, great glass library, excellent printer driver, nice lamp wizard... lots of good menus and features. It is CAD -customized for glass design work.
Cons
Users unfamiliar with a little basic CAD can be initially frustrated.
Other Thoughts
Even if all you are making are crosses and red-green tree ornaments, this product can make you a better glass artist. It is the go-to tool for glass design. Classical stained glass, fused glass, even lamps. I have ported the SW through several operating systems and computers, and found the support to be appropriate. The company's level of piracy protection is warranted. It is valuable.
