Product Reviews
Pros
I have had so much fun mixing colors of frit to make buttons. I also used some dicroic glass pieces cut into small pieces and used clear frit to keep them in place. I am having so much fun with the button molds.
Cons
The first buttons I made us used regular kiln wash, and the buttons came out rough on the edges. So I cleaned off the mold and used Boron Nitride Mold Release, and now the buttons are perfect.
Other Thoughts
I want to thank everyone at Delphi for all the help they have given me with directions for using molds and what supplies to use for cutting glass. And the classes I have taken with Roy have been so much fun and I have learned a lot.
Pros
Easy to keep clean and is very sturdy.
Keeps your work area safe from accidental burns.
Cons
Honestly, I haven’t found any flaws.
Other Thoughts
Been using this mat for over a year and never looked back.
Pros
No need for any other form of cleaner. Just one spray, wipe and your done. Polish as usual.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I only use Kwik Clean, no other form of cleaner other then my polish. It neutralizes the flux so nicely that you don’t need anything else. The polish shines everything up and it stays that way. No white mold when using Kwik clean, just a beautiful piece of work!
Pros
Add to any suncatcher and you have an instant Wind Chime!
Cons
Sometimes the top is slightly bent. This is an easy fix though so not much of a problem. The loop at the top just needs to be straitened so eyeball it before packing it up for a customer.
Other Thoughts
Would love if they sounded better. A richer tone would be nicer then the tin sound you get. But you do get what you pay for. Overall its a nice wind chime and does add a nice look to any suncatcher.
Pros
Economical for hanging suncatchers. Lasts a long time and you only need a about five links per suncatcher. Great for professionals and hobbyists.
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
Also works for small windows or panels.
Pros
easy to work with, doesn’t stick to the roll, comes off easily. Tears easily so your not fighting with it when your done wrapping the piece.
Cons
can sometimes tear when you don’t want it to, but be careful and this is a minor problem.
Other Thoughts
A wonderful foil. Handle with care and your wont have an issue.
Pros
Easy to use, not stiff like other brands. Doesn’t stick to itself, comes off roll nicely.
Cons
Can tear easily if your not careful. But this is a minor problem. Sometimes the silver backing is not solid and the copper does show through. This can be a problem when using very transparent glass.
Other Thoughts
Overall a wonderful product and at a great price.

A bit expensive, try to get it on sale.

Pros
I like that it doesn't have a hole in the center of the pads and a large enough work surface so I could stay with a more compacted machine.

Thank you Delphi for including your own set up instructions as there was absolutely none from Crystal master.
