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 :)

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!

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.

Pros
Etching is clean and clear. Great addition to any piece. Very pleased with quality.

Cons
n/a

Pros
These rings are really nice and I like it that they are sterling silver plated. Strictly for the gals because of their lacy design. Adjustable means anyone just about can wear them.

Cons
No cons.

Other Thoughts
Make 10 mini cabochons at a time. Doesn't take much time or materials. Glue them to the ring top with E6000 and...viola. I sell these for $5 for the first one and $4 for each one thereafter. Don't hesitate to make them a little eye catching. Girls 10 and up love these. They are also popular with people to buy for future gifts. A really nice low-cost addition to your line.

Pros
This frit is so clean and clear it's wonderful. Ready to use and saves time from making your own

Cons
wish it came in even bigger sizes
