Fusing Photo Paper - 10 Pack by markkobasz on September 30, 2021 5 stars
Pros
This is a most amazing material!!! My students in my Sculpture and Glassworks Classes at a high School love it!!! There are endless possibilities for it use in multiple ways. I am using in my own work combining Sand cast glass objects, tols, cameras, etc. with framed transferred photos on Opal colored plate glass. My students have create some fine sculptures with imagery permanently fired on the glass plate, along with other mixed media elements.
Cons
NO
Other Thoughts
Not a real con, but the easiest way to determine if your printer has high iron ink is the request the MSDS sheet from the manufacturer, that saves time and material.

Oceanside Autumn Flame Striker Pearl Opal - 96 COE by GlassbyJill on September 30, 2021 5 stars
Pros
The colors are gorgeous, wow! I am using this for Halloween kinds of things, but I will be using this to accent other projects too, will need to order more!
Cons
If you need the exact colors in the photo, an order might not match that-I was still very happy with what I received
Other Thoughts
The larger the sheet, I believe the more variation one would have to choose from. I will call to confirm before I reorder, but it has been that way for other glass sheets

Small Dragonflies Casting Mold by Strontzer (top contributor) on September 30, 2021 4 stars
Pros
You can get gorgeous details on your dragonflies. My trick is to carefully put powder in the mold first and gently use a dry paint brush to settle it in the grooves of the wings.
Cons
You need practice with this mold if you want more spectacular dragonflies.
Other Thoughts
You will get better results on this mold with ZYP than kiln wash.

Pros
Exactly what I needed for the smaller irregular shaped projects that need that edging for a polished look.
Cons
None that I can think of
Other Thoughts
This also works great for edging the bottoms of stained glass lamp shades!

Top Tools Running Pliers by suparlily on September 30, 2021 5 stars
Pros
I love these running pliers because they are so easy to use. Just line up the line on the plier that's located by the top screw with the score mark you previously made on the glass and gently press. You don't risk cutting your fingers when you use a tool like this versus snapping glass by hand.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Over time, the rubber cover will wear out--but I didn't need to replace mine for several years and I use it all the time. I bought extra pliers so I could teach classes

Bullseye Thinfire Shelf Paper - 20-1/2" x 20-1/2" Sheet by suparlily on September 30, 2021 5 stars
Pros
This paper is easy to cut and easy to clean away after firing. It leaves the bottom of your glass with a very nice, smooth finish
Cons
I have no cons
Other Thoughts
I feel it's important to keep the paper smooth and unwrinkled before using for more than one reason. ex-wrinkled paper on a tile can cause the glass to slide around--also-wrinkles under glass can affect the surface smoothness/texture of your glass. It's not hard to keep it smooth before use--just keep it slightly rolled like it usually comes in the mail. Clean us is not difficult either. After my work comes out of the kiln, I wipe away the fused paper with a damp paper towel to control any possible dust- and then brush everything away with the damp cloth.
