Pros
The bottle is perfect for lining with glass powder or a mix of glass powder and a medium to make it like paint. Very easy to squeeze and seals perfectly.

Pros
This mold is perfect for a slight curve to your piece. I did a coral piece and slumped it with this to hang on my wall.

Pros
These little guys come in handy for all kinds of things. They work great between layers of fused glass for jewelry, ornaments, or whatever you need a metal loop on. I double them up for larger pieces. The metal stays silver just not quite as shiny.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Pros
I like that these are premixed. I experimented using them on different colors of glass and the colors show up best on white and black. They can be used watered down for a painterly look or full strength for stronger color. I use them along with Glassline and a transparent enamel and they are forgiving as far as the firing temperature.
Cons
I prefer Glassline black for details. The squeeze bottle is awkward and makes a thick line. I use a brush and toothpick to scrape the edges of my design.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Colors remain vibrant through firing processes.

Buying a larger size piece would be best for getting all of the colors.
Other Thoughts
Easy to cut and looks lovely when slumped!

I bought this grinder as part of my start up kit. I’ve never had an issue. I just replaced the grid after years of use. Really the best grinder I’ve ever used.

Score to break, unless it breaks into many pieces.
Other Thoughts
Great assortment of colors!

Other Thoughts
Pros
Easy to use, Versatile, Precise, Lightweight, Makes quick work most any cut, and of ultra tough cuts (I still love and prefer to hand-cut, but I got this specifically for big, super severe cuts, so I could keep my designs exactly how I wanted them, and also not have the stress of potentially shattering a larger piece just because of my creative stubbornness), Cuts through other materials like metal for frames and wood (of certain thickness), Great for sparking imagination, Saves glass!
Cons
Plastic outer components (but that does make sense, metal would very heavy, and probably even more expensive, I just wish it felt a little studier for the price), Pattern lines 'wash' off without specific application, Can get pretty messy, Takes a good while to get used to - it doesn't have the feel of a grinder or a typical saw, so you have to really get the feel for it, You'll still need to run most pieces through a grinder (at least some edges, in my experience), Can snap off small corners if you're not very careful and learn how to maneuver it properly, Makes me feel like I'm "cheating" in the glass cutting process, hahaha
Other Thoughts
Okay, so, it definitely has its cons, HOWEVER, I still love my ring saw! I definitely recommend a few things - get a foot pedal to attach to the power cord so you can control the saw! It made a huge difference in precision. Also, use a GOLD Sharpie to mark your patterns, since they act like paint markers, THEN leave your pattern piece in place until the gold ink dries, or set the piece back down, and outline it again over the gold ink with a black fine tip Sharpie. I know that seems like a pain, but it's worth it. It's the only way, so far, that I've figured out how to keep pattern lines from flooding off the glass, because the saw can create quite a bit of backsplash. The black fine line give you the precise place to follow next to, the gold makes it visible and helps it stick. Remember, the saw blades cuts OUT and removes a line of glass the width of the saw blade, unlike hand-cutting, which doesn't remove any glass. Other than that, practice and experiment! It's worth it. :)
Pros
Beautiful and eye catching cane
Cons
Very short
Other Thoughts
This coe 96 cane is very pretty and will add to any piece. Please read the dimensions carefully as they are short and not many in a package. Beautiful cane though.
Pros
Polishes beautifully without leaving a film.
Cons
Very runny.
Other Thoughts
This is a great polishing cream to finish out stained glass. It is a little more runny than I would like but does a great job.
