Nick's Grinders Mate by karifalk (top contributor) on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
This tool kept my fingers from getting cut and hitting the grinder.
Cons
When grinding a small circle, it was hard to make sure the shape stayed round, since part of it was being hidden.

Taurus 3 Ring Saw by tbarheart on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
It's great for cutting those pieces that you struggle to cut by hand
Cons
It does take some time getting used to. And it takes more time to cut the pieces
Other Thoughts
You need to remember that it cuts more glass away, because of the wider saw blade

Small Simple Cross Bevel Cluster by mrglassart on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
Great size - perfect for small projects and for teaching my students about using bevels.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
These crosses are ideal for small panels, and they are easily incorporated into larger patterns.

Youghiogheny Floral Stipple Glass Pack by Amendoza1899 on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
The glass came with no broken pieces. It is perfect for creepy alien skin Instead of finding images first, it is easy to look at the glass and think of what you can make next.
Cons
The pieces are smaller so you are limited on picture size.
Other Thoughts
I am just starting in stained glass so I like having these smaller pieces for small projects.

Papyros Shelf Paper - 20-1/2" x 20-1/2" Sheet by spikerglassworks (top contributor) on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
I can get 2-3 uses out of this shelf paper if it is not disturbed between firings
Cons
be sure to use your safety gear when using shelf paper
Other Thoughts
I save any scraps to utilize for pocket vases and on the edges of molds when there may be an issue with edges.

9" Cylinder Lamp Slumping Mold by spikerglassworks (top contributor) on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
Awesome Mold that I use to make Candle Covers
Cons
NONE!
Other Thoughts
Candle Covers sell great at art shows and with the 9" size you can make 1 large one or 2 smaller ones.

Leaf Gold Decals by heatherrevezzo on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
These fire so shiny gold and nice, the leaf assortment is fun and these are easy to use. And very easy to use!
Cons
You have to fire your piece another time to fuse these on, although if you are slumping you might be able to do kill two birds with one stone.
Other Thoughts
When i first got them, they looked orange/brown and I thought they would not work. Once fired, the gold activates and they look stunningly shiny! The decal is clear coating that burns off during the firing.

ZYP Boron Nitride Mold Release - 13 oz by heatherrevezzo on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
This is so easy to use, and also allows for a super easy release. Application of this product also ensures the detail in your mold will come through the finished fired piece.
Cons
This is a little expensive, and addicting to buy/use because it works so well. Also you need to wear a mask and gloves when applying due to the aerosol and chemicals in it.
Other Thoughts
I haven't determined exactly how many uses each can gives me... this can was my first purchase and I am keeping track. I have about 1/2 a can left and so far have applied about 20 coats/molds. I may also be heavy handed as a first time user. Also I feel worth the price for detail molds due to the preservation. Regular kiln wash muddies the detail and eventually obscures it.

1-3/4" x 3" Diamond Double Bevel by zs130106201140 on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
Reflects the sunlight. So many uses.
Cons

Small Dragonflies Casting Mold by heatherrevezzo on September 1, 2021 5 stars
Pros
easy to use, one firing, beautiful dragonflies
Cons
none yet, the detail in the mold really comes through the finished product.
Other Thoughts
I used Zyp to prime the mold, as recommended, and the glass came out like a hot knife in butter.
