Fusing Photo Paper - 10 Pack by hnathlm on March 28, 2014 5 stars
Pros
Easy to use
Cons
Can't do color
Other Thoughts
Bought a MICR (check-printing) toner cartridge for my printer to get correct iron content. Check online to see if there is one available for your printer. Most of the newer laser printers don't have the required iron content in their regular cartridges, but the MICR cartridges need the iron to enable them to be machine-processed. Fired above tack fuse, but below full fuse. 200 deg. ramp to 1100, hold for 20 min., ramp at 500 deg. to 1325, hold for 10 min., drop to 950 and hold for an hour, then 100 deg/hr to 700 deg. Nice deep brown image on flat glass, did not cap it, will probably try fusemaster over-glaze to protect it. Slumped into a wavy dish shape at 200 deg/hr to 1000 deg. then 500 deg/hr to 1280, soak for 20 min., drop to 950 and hold for 1 hour, then 100 deg/hr to 700. Slumped perfectly and did not distort image.

Glastar All Star G8 Grinder by scidhumouse on March 27, 2014 5 stars
Pros
Read all the other reviews and add this to them. I'm extremely mechanically enclined and work with many tools in many trades. This is a great tool for this trade. This tool makes me look like I know what I'm doing... You get what you pay for and this tool is well worth the money. I left the bit on it for 4 years while I had other projects going. Removing the bit was no problem. The bit, after extended use, still works like new. I can't say enough about this grinder. I'm going to buy their disk grinder next.

Mastercraft Lead-free Solder - 1 lb by aslan96 on March 22, 2014 5 stars
Pros
I have been using this solder for nearly 4 years now and I do like the results. It solidifies very quickly which comes in very handy for tack fusing and use on 3D objects. One tip for using this is to get a temperature control for your soldering iron; I currently use a Hakko with a Mika temperature control to adjust the solder to its sweet spot. I find by setting the temperature control to 80-85% the solder flows well without any issues. Be sure to do frequent cleanings of the soldering iron tip with a cleaning block and you will find this solder works just fine.
Cons
Price
Other Thoughts
I would highly recommend this product; just make sure to use higher temperature settings on your temperature control, than you are used to from lead based solder and it will work fine.

Hakko FX-601 Soldering Iron by daph991 (top contributor) on March 17, 2014 5 stars
Pros
Lightweight, heats up really fast. Because of the light weight, you can solder much longer without wrist fatigue. Love this little iron. I would recommend it highly.
Cons
It's so small it drops down into my soldering station ring and rests on the inside of the metal rings which I have heard takes away some of the heat from the iron but I didn't notice any cool down so maybe this isn't a problem.
Other Thoughts
Doesn't come with an instruction manual but you can download the one page sheet from Delphi site. Also, I think the key is a waste of time, just something extra to store somewhere.
