Other Thoughts
This is one awesome set! I purposely waited to cut diamonds until I got this set. I struggled in the beginning with the instructions and explanations but once I watched a couple of videos, it was a snap to learn. I made perfect strips, squares, triangles, and diamonds in a very short amount of time. I have struggled with this for years, I am wondering why I didn't buy this sooner and avoid all the struggle.
Pros
this is easier to work with than loose powder, you can cut it to shape, though paper punches had a bit of trouble getting though it, it did hold up well on the skinny parts. The glow is quite bright and long lasting. Just walking it from car to shop was bright enough to see the glow inside.
Cons
Much thicker than dicro or enamel slide, the shapes appear patchy or like baby swiss up close. Also, if left uncapped it's quite textured.
Other Thoughts
Bright enough to show though cathedrals if charged in bright light.
Pros
perfect for my project
Cons
some spots have a rough texture so be careful cutting it.

I used this glass to make the fins and tails for some glass koi fish my son's "pond" bathroom floor. They turned out beautiful!!! I used other colors for the fish bodies, but the fins and tails really look like they are moving in the "water" mosaic on the floor. Oh, so lovely!! I capped it with clear when fusing the fish. The floor is a mix of handmade ceramic tile and glass koi fish.
Pros
great to use in jewelry casting molds with other frits
Cons
Other Thoughts
I like sprinkling this on the top of my frit in my necklace molds. It's shiny, its a bit of unexpected bling added. I try to make sure it's covered with clear frit or it can have a rough texture. I use tweezers to make sure the colored parts of the bits are facing the right direction for mold.
Pros
quick, easy to fill with frit
Cons
I can only make 4 at a time. ugh. :) :S
Other Thoughts
This is a fast way to make lovely Christmas ornaments for presents or for your vendor booth. :) I use coarse iridescent frit for the bottom part and medium water clear for the loop.
Pros
This works great for bonding glass to glass, After a couple of days it's completely clear.
