Pros
I really like the DM dichroics and this copper is very, very, nice. If you like the metallic look, you will like this color.

Pros
Easy to program, easy to use. I've had my kiln since December 2006 with no problems other than replacing the relay switch a couple of years ago, and the lid coil today. This kiln has had moderate to heavy use and is very reliable. Would I buy the same kiln again? Absolutely.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Other Thoughts
You can watch a video on how to change the coil, but to tell you the truth, he makes it look easy. Because my coils are so old, they are really stiff, and didn't want to come out of the track. It was much easier to get the new coil in than to take the old coil out. About 2 hours to remove the old coil, and only 45 minutes or so to put the new one in.
Pros
Strong, flexible for varied lengths and thicknesses, modern, non-fussy look doesn't compete with piece design
Cons
Would like a smaller size too...4 or 6 inch for tiles

Pros
I really like these "beach-y" decals. Easy to apply and they look great on pendants.

I love this small mold. Besides being a great tea bag,ring,earring,coin, or whatever else you can think of holder, it can also be used to test out patterns to be used on larger plates. Since I can fit at least 3 into my kiln, I can try out some ideas I have for larger plates. If I don't like how they come out, I still have a small etc. holder, and I didn't waste a lot of glass. It's win-win!

Pros
Glass is great and good colors, well packed.
Cons
Disappointed that two packs of the same colors were sent, not logical to me. If I order more than one pack I would expect duplicate colors would not be sent.
Other Thoughts
Makes me rethink of ordering more.
Pros
French Vanilla Opal cuts easily, and is easy to work, and provides the perfect background color for beach scenes, old parchment, and many other neutral scenes.
Cons
None.

Silver dichro on black is a staple in my studio. It can be used as a background layer, under a transparent piece of glass, or as a top layer by itself. As a top layer, you can etch designs into it to make the piece your own.

package size could be bigger or offered in bulk
Pros
I bought my first pistol grip cutter five years ago and won't use anything else now. Easy grip and very resposive. don't put oil into it, after a while the handle seems to become greasy. My teacher showed me a very simple technique - four of five sheets of the sydney morning Herald or other newspaper next to your work, a few drops of singer-type sewing machine oil on the page, and run your cutting wheel over it one or two times and the wheel is nicely lubricated, without the mess. for each cut, I simply run my wheel over the newspaper and then score the glass. It works every time. These cutters are simply the best, but don't put oil into them, they do leach oil through the plastic and make them feel 'dirty'. A little oil on the newspaper, run the wheel over once or twice and then score. Happy cutting!

Can not see any so far.

Pros
Nice deep detailed design. Works beautifully with thin fire paper.
Cons
None :)
Other Thoughts
A smaller size would be great too
Pros
This past winter was brutal, but I had these hanging outside and they weathered the brutality beautifully: they still look new!
Cons
I had to really think to come up with a con, but this might be an issue for someone. The gauge of the wire is good, but it can still bend a little. If you are moving these constantly, you will want to take care and watch for this.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Consistent texture, fuses well with all compatible glass.
