Pros
I honestly got this sheet without a plan, just because the color looked so spectacular! It's exactly as shown, extremely rich color and thick, watery texture. I can't wait to find a use for it, it looks and feels luxurious!
Cons
None that I have found with it yet!
Other Thoughts
If you want this glass to take the spotlight, don't pair it with lighter colors. Because it's so saturated even though it's transparent it doesn't transmit light as well as thinner/lighter transparents and even pale opals, and will appear dim if set beside them. This is fine and beautiful in its own right if you just want this color as an accent though.
Pros
The color is very rich and texture is a nice rough-rolled feel. Great navy for being a transparent glass!
Cons
It's very slightly brighter/more transparent than in the picture. I might actually call it midnight blue rather than navy, because it lacks some of the blackishness I associate with navy even though the picture seems to show it. It's probably difficult to achieve true navy without losing transparency though.
Other Thoughts
I haven't explored other navy transparent sheets but I suspect this is the best you can find without going semi-transparent or opal. I'm very happy with it!
Pros
Easy to make fun ornaments. Make sure to spray it’s before using.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Uses more grit than you might think
Pros
Easy to use
Cons
A little spendy but worth it
Other Thoughts
It’s like using parchment paper for cooking. Makes everything so much easier.
Pros
lightweight and easy to pin onto a board. Retains it's shape. Perfect for keeping glass in place for soldering. I'd attach a photo of the finished piece if there was an option to do that.

Pros
The Glaskolben tubes are a fantastic way to make the most beautiful ornaments. Results after many failures have been stunning.
Cons
It’s my opinion the directions on use have a lot to be desired. They are incomplete. As it stand now a lot of trial and error is necessary to achieve positive results. We also need detailed information on working with colors, annealing, and additional tips for success. Also trouble shooting tips are needed.
Other Thoughts
More information on recycling is needed. At nearly $5 per “attempt” we need to know what/how failures can be recycled. This also includes using the blow tube.
Heads up! You DO need the neodymium glasses for safety and to gauge the temperature of the glass before blowing.
Pros
I got the Grinder, Big one, the work service is double of my old one, the glass does not get stuck on the grid, the grinding bit goes way up so you can grind even the thick glass, its super fast, cutting your grinding time in half and the Grinder is super quiet !!!! buy it !!! The Grinder is its weight worth in Platinum, gold and silver !!!!
Cons
The Protective shield came with 2 stickers on that left the glue behind when pulled it off, I used rubbing alcohol and a soft rag but the shield still got so scratched up I cant use it, so be very careful when removing the stickers
