Product Reviews
Pros
Clear capped develops delicate crinklized texture that is extremely nice looking by itseld and adds an interesting accent in landscape-like projects or juwelry pieces - if you want a "tree of life" decal pendant, use it as the background for the roots of the tree. Or create a cab using this as the base layer, cap with a piece of clear and put one more dichro on clear layer, dichro down (preferably some textured blue and gold) fire and all you need is to add a dolphin decal to your small but deep and sparkling ocean.

Pros
This pack is by far the best I have ever bought. Brilliant colors and great variety. The dichroic covers the entire piece on every piece in the pack. I have purchased packs from other stores and have been disappointed when there was only a partial coating of dichroic. This pack far exceeded my expectations. I will only buy from Delphi from now on. I'm still grinning ear to ear. I highly recommend this pack.

Pros
This cluster is a bonus included with the larger version and patterns--another great GST Cluster
Cons

I added a gemstone eye so I had to grind a little.
Pros
What a wonderful addition to our glass cutting tools. Thanks Delphi, another great product. Ease of cutting and the fact that I no longer have hand fatigue after hours of cutting is a plus. Yes, I can even sit down and cut glass now.

Pros
I didn't have any problems with this mold set. The pendents turned out very nice. I was able to balance the cut glass on the earring mold without any difficulty. I would suggest using a thinner glass for the earrings.
Cons
Can be tedious getting the circle and ovals cut to size.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Fits well. I cut inner quarter circles for extra support.

Such a versatile cluster. It's great by itself or altered with half/half bevels and color or in a panel.

Blue bevel would be nice!

I really LOVE GST Clusters. They are pricey but so nicely formed and packaged.
Cons

I used a small gem for the eye and grinded a little bit. It worked out nicely for the panel. I used the full size pattern that was also included which is another bonus!
Pros
Very nice bevel cluster. I used it in a panel. Reasonable price for a nice cluster!
Cons

Pros
I decided to make these into starfish ornaments with a hook. I have made three so far, in silver, copper and black.
Cons
The little edge pieces need extra reinforcement for ornaments but otherwise good.
Other Thoughts
Would like smaller ones to put into a skinny window
Pros
Of the five sheets of transparent we recently ordered, this is the only one that wasn't super, super dark, and basically black. It's dark, but it's clearly blue
Cons

Pros
I recently ordered 12 different colors from Delphi. This was one of the few that was close to the color shown/expected

Pros
One of the few I ordered recently (out of 12) that was the color shown

Pros
Cool new technique. Easy for the beginner.
Awesome fish design!
Cons
Don't particularly care for the tab. Limited to only one tile for this size (fish). Need many more to choose from. The tiles on the other sizes are pretty lame. They need to come up with something botanical (daisy, leaves, vines), some geometric shapes, swirls, a cat, a couple of birds on a wire, etc. Hope they're working on that.
And Delphi - Why didn't you give us at least a hint of a firing schedule for this Exclusive new product?? Sure would have made things easier.
Other Thoughts
After hit and miss I offer the following:
Cut two layers of glass (one can be thin glass) 1/8" larger than the "Free Template" shows. Do NOT clip the corners.
If using frit in the channel you must use an adequate amount.
My fusing schedule for Sys96 (for my kiln):
350 - 1000 - 10
300 - 1450 - 13
AFAP - 950 - 60
250 - 250 - off
This works in my little Paragon Caldera but each kiln is different so adjust the above for your own kiln.
