Other Thoughts
Got it for my mom's birthday and it works beautifully
Pros
Easy to use, beautiful results.
Cons
Rather difficult to clean between firings, use progressively smaller brushes
Other Thoughts
I've churned out about 10 of these, just love it. Definitely use the largest grain of frit possible for clarity, fine/powder comes out looking opaque.
Pros
Easy to use, reliable
Cons
Would love a larger version, this is a bit small.
Difficult to get a clear 'vein' but the pattern works wonderfully anyway.
Other Thoughts
I didn't see a recommended amount of glass to fill them with, but there's no pendant hole or anything, so I usually fill it even. Results have been great each time.
Pros
Complete kit for getting started with grisaille. Badger brush is especially helpful for getting thin even coats.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Pros
Doesn't spatter or crack when drying, release didn't crack during flameworking and all beads came off mandrels easily.
Cons
Took a very long time to mix to get even consistency
Other Thoughts
After years of testing different bead releases, this is the best I have found and I plan on sticking with this brand from now on.
