Pros
Absolutely fabulous glass. Match with transparent carribbean blue for amazing items

Cons
None!

Other Thoughts
It is one of my favourite colours to work with

Pros
Easy to mix, easy to use, works very well, good price.

Cons
Availability is limited and a wait period is to be expected.

Other Thoughts

Pros
My shipment contained a nice array of colors, was packed well, and arrived quickly. This price is unbeatable, and I have spent hours going to different stores and comparing prices online.

Cons
I didn't really care for the clear glass that came with the shipment but since it is a random selection I understood I would be getting pieces that I didn't really care for. I can still use them, however.

Other Thoughts
I bought this pack to create a stock of art to open an Etsy store and this product was a great choice for that.

Pros
Trust yourself...this is very easy to foil with Take your time...feel the different pressures you apply and soon you will know just how much pressure is needed to get your foiling machine to perfectly foil. I was done with a project before I knew it. I placed it on a micro fiber cloth and it did not move. Wonderful little invention

Cons

Other Thoughts

Pros
I love this mold so much I have just purchased two more! Incense burners are my best selling item and also my favorite thing to make.

Cons
None that I have found!

Other Thoughts
It is worth investing in the Fiber paper to create the holder part. I have had varied success using rolled up scrap shelf paper but its hard to control the size of the opening that way.

Pros
Easy to use, makes great tiles to hang on a wall or in a window.

Cons
Make sure it is well coated with mold release or you can lose a little of the details when separating the mold from your glass.

Other Thoughts
Works particularly well with the iridized glass. I am very pleased with the items I made.

Pros
I've used this cutter for MANY years and have always used it without oil. I find the one that's specified as oil free with plastic handle far more fragile than this. So, if you dare, try this sans oil and see if it works for you too. This is the ONLY cutter I will use. I've tried many others, but this just feels really good in the hand which I find assists if accuracy.

Cons
NONE

Other Thoughts

Pros
Fast blade changes. Easy set up. Accurate cutting. Simple to clean. Nice big smooth deck makes cutting easier.

Cons
Blade picks up water from the reservoir and deposits too much of it on the table. The two sponges to help prevent this could be improved.

Other Thoughts
I use this in my home stained glass workshop and must say it does everything I need to do. It cuts with accuracy and the blade life is extraordinary.

Pros
This clever little invention is invaluable for saving frayed fingers and holding glass securely, especially tricky tiny bits.

Cons
None

Other Thoughts
Use these in our class at Mid-Cheshire College, England, really useful but difficult to get hold of in UK so coming shopping - on my first holiday in America- for my classmates back in Northwich. Great fun!

Pros
Ink flows very well and is easy to control while writing. Tip is fine enough for most projects. Great for dating or signing glass ornaments.

Cons
Dont make the same mistake I did and think you can fire with this pen and have it come out looking gold! At best it will fire black, however it is not made to be used and fused :)

Other Thoughts

Pros
I use it a lot and love it. It does vary in pattern and color. Learn to design for the pattern.....you will use thin tight lines differently than diffused color....and swirls work differently than parallel lines...but your work with this material can be truly yours and unique... each piece really will be different. Remember dichro on smooth machine rolled glass changes color more drastically in the kiln...so pay attention to what it looks like at an angle....but you really can produce very pretty pieces with this material. Some colors I didn't think I wanted at first have produced very nice.... more muted and subtle colors and designs .....a nice change....not everyone wants neon bright dichro jewelry. Some of the darker toned down colors are lovely with some fired gold accents.

Cons
On the smooth glass the color changes more drastically when fired....so pay attention to the potential color shift. Sometimes it may get dark....but use those sections for something more soft and subtle. It isn't your typical dicro.... make that work for you (and your design) and you can make beautiful pieces with this material. It may take some experimentation to figure it out...but it is worth it.

Other Thoughts
It is fun to have more dicro colors together in one piece without lots of extra cutting and grinding!

Pros
A powerful and long lasting machine. I wrote a review in 2008 about my grinder and here seven years or so later it is still operating without any evidence of weakening. I very highly rate it. See other thoughts.

Cons
Throws water, no other way to put it! You will need a Mr Splash or equivalent to protect walls and or furniture around it.

Other Thoughts
With the extras it comes with, it is cheaper than it was when I bought it. While the foot pedal is very helpful, it is not a necessity. But the smaller bits and shield holder are. This is a fabulous buy on a fabulous grinder.

Pros
Great way to reduce time when I am in glass class. Instead of cutting circles, I am busy creating the art design. Thank you!

Cons
Need to keep these in stock!

Other Thoughts

Pros
This stand is excellent quality - very heavy - and very beautiful. Worth the price. And it's made in the good old USA.

Cons
none

Other Thoughts

Pros
Gorgeous when fully fused

Cons
hard to cut against the grain

Other Thoughts
Colors in my piece were more purple and bronze/gold than the blues in the example

Pros
Beads are nice size (very small) for what I wanted them for, which was stringing with larger focal beads.

Cons
I did not follow directions closely and suffered the consequences. I didn't measure the frit or use only fine- and medium-sized frit, and the results were wonky-shaped beads. Also did not use either of the two recommended release products, but instead used the kiln wash product my glass teacher uses for all her molds. First time I used the mold, a few beads stuck but were popped out with a sharp tool. Teacher said I did not need to retreat with mold release before reusing molds, and on the second use, half of my tiny beads stuck firmly in mold. Managed to pop one out with a sharp tool and the post popped off too.

Other Thoughts
Delphi has free downloadable tip sheets available in their catalog, mixed in among the molds themselves. I highly recommend them--I could have avoided my grief. I have now ordered a can of MR-97 for my other molds and I'm debating investing replace this nano beads mold.
