Product Reviews
Pros
I love these molds. It will be fun to use these in jewelry and as part of mosaics. Taking the time to add the frit to the pattern, properly prepare the mold - they fell right out and look fantastic.
Cons
The round backs will make it harder to use for certain applications
Other Thoughts
would certainly buy again - fun, easy to use.
Pros
Seems like a good buy for the money
Cons

Pros
The main point that takes this product miles away from the steel wool is that it does not leave rapidly oxidating micro particles on your project. And this is especially important if you use drapery or granite ripples or other delicate glass. Also it works excellent if you need to remove old patina, repair the item or fix the problems of the soldering. Yes, it will not last for years. Yes, may look expensive, but it is the the professional small thing - does its job without creating any in addition.

Pros
The standard for shelf paper. I have used it for years. It cuts easily, performs very well, and can often be used twice, especially if the first firing is Tack Fuse. This saves a lot of money.
Cons
No cons.
Other Thoughts
The paper disintegrates so when cleaning the paper off the shelf, or sweeping up the paper bits that fly under the shelf, use a mask. Keep all scraps. They can be used many ways. Just do not overlap under a piece or you will end up with a crease in your piece after firing!!!
Pros
Durable, effective handtool. Quick, handy solution to small grinding jobs.
Cons

Pros
This is my third bottle cutter and by far the best!It's very user friendly and tech support is very accessible. I called and spoke to a real person!
Cons
Gallon jugs will be a challenge, but I'm into it.
Other Thoughts
Pros
I bought a radio shack flux paste and it was awful, hard to clean off and was sticky and gunked up the brush. This product was great!! Easy to put on and clean up. Does not require hard scrubbing to remove.
Cons
None found!
Other Thoughts
Pros
A very simple design. Cuts on the body add dimension. A nice Amethyst color. Very easy to incorporate.
Cons
I purchased these and the green damsels. The upper wings are different in that the green has a flat bevel on the wing where the amethyst does not. Or at least it didn't on mine. One upper wing was missing and GST was quick to send a replacement, but they sent the beveled top one, so one panel on my lamp has wings that don't match.
Other Thoughts
GST is a well organized and courteous company
Pros
nice pure color green, very similar to the picture.
Cons
a little hard to cut,but not impossible and the color is so pretty it is worth it
Other Thoughts
Pros
I have used it once. It is nice for using small scrap. Just some little decoration such as stripe makes it a nice dish. Can make very ornamental with right combos of glass. Good practice for elements of art on small scale.
Cons
None - sure it is small, but you know that before using.
Other Thoughts
None. I plan to use it more.
Pros
I have purchased many of these tables to use in my classes for the past few years. Strong, sturdy, and good looking. Allows me to mosaic on a flat surface and then attach legs.
Cons
Can't be used outside!
Other Thoughts
Would be really nice if they were weather proof and could be used outside on patios etc.
Pros
Well made mold. I own two and fire them frequently. No problems. I use regular HotLine shelf separator because the large flat surfaces don't merit using boron nitrate.
Cons
Wash can get scratched off if you're not careful loading the mold. It can be difficult to determine the fill amount if you're not used to this style of fusing.
Other Thoughts
If loading with scrap in particular I suggest small L-shaped pieces of fiber paper in the corners or along the edges.
Pros
Attractive, high sides, economical
Cons
Measure stand before cutting glass
Other Thoughts
Will buy more
Pros
Just what you would expect- thick, clear glass,clean edges,nicely beveled.
