Product Reviews
Pros
The dark red, green and pale yellow look great together. Very much of a tropical or Mexican feel to the combo.
Cons
I'd really like an advance (online) listing of the colors.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Brought 4 different color assortments, and this was my favorite by a long shot. Colors that I wouldn't have thought to put together looked great (i.e. light lapis & nile green). Also loved the transparent light grass green.
Cons
Wish they would tell you online before you order what the exact colors are. Sounds like they aren't that consistant in what they put in the assortments, so I'm a little reluctant to reorder, in case I end up with rods that I don't like or won't use.

Pros
Easy to use - and pretty quick too - eliminates most of the mess of making your own frit. I used it along with the frit sifters which are awesome too!
Cons
None that I can think of!
Other Thoughts
Pros
These are perfect for earring and pendants. They turned out so cute!
Cons
Other Thoughts
I would order these again.
Pros
It works beautifully. Really adds dimension and uniqueness to my melted bottles and iridized glass art pieces.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Would like to see it in a 12 x 12 pattern.
Pros
This kiln is easy to program - instructions are clear. It's ideal for beads but I've also used it for fusing and enamel work!
Cons
I wish they had a built-in way to hold open the door.

Pros
Gets hot and stays hot, doesn't lose heat. Lightweight means less hand fatigue.
Cons
none

I was doing a repair and was removing some zinc came from a panel and the iron melted the zinc came! This iron is so easy to use I just love it!
Pros
I have tried other products on the market but this one is by far the best. It makes perfect scores on every beer, wine, and other bottle that I tried. Very easy to use. Spring loaded carbide cutting wheel / head adjusts itself to the bottle. Score line is sharp, fine, and precise resulting in clean smooth separations. The hand protector pad facilitates bottle rotation while isolating your hand from any glass splinters. Index mark / guide helps prevent over-scoring. Rollers are ball bearing smooth. There's a neat 12 inch ruler on the underside for precision placement of cutting head. Solid polycarbonate base provides a straight rigid guide for bottle base. The parts quality is excellent. I struggled with other cutters I previously owned to the point where I gave up working with bottles. This cutter re-engaged me big time. If you can rotate a bottle, you can create perfect scores with this product.
Cons
None found

The latest version of this cutter comes with an additional set of rollers, not shown in the photo, for scoring those large over-sized bottles. The product support is great. I had a couple of questions which were answered very quickly. The only thing I will ever need to replace will be the cutting wheel / head. The product was well packaged and Delphi shipping was fast and efficient. Bottom Line: This bottle cutter is the best I have found on the market and is worth every penny I paid for it.
Pros
This is a beautiful cluster. I ordered two and completed one so far. All pieces fit well together during placement on the pattern. I opted to leave the piece open without framing it as I wanted to offer one for sale at a more reasonable cost. I was wary of how to hang the hooks and at the same time have it hang properly. I found two secure spots and used a very small link chain. I used a black-back foil 3/16" Venture Tape and a black patina. It looks very stunning; however, I plan to try copper foil and copper patina for the second one I bought.
Cons
None.
Other Thoughts
This is a very carefully made, well-fitting cluster at a very reasonable price.
Pros
I made this piece for a customer who wanted to hang it in her kitchen window. She had recently had a fire in her home and wanted something for good luck. Thanks for the pattern because it would have been hard to lay out without it; however, it fit nicely. I have since prepared a second one and it was nicely cut and fit well also.
Cons
Because I intended this to be a piece to hang as is--without extra glass--it was slightly pliable. I intend to fill in the spaces for the next projects I have which should allow for more support.
Other Thoughts
I foiled this in copper backed foil because for some reason it works the best to hold. I didn't fill in the empty spaces and I placed two hooks at the first intersection at the top of the heart where it meets the inner pointed piece and added a small link chain to hang it. I used copper patina and it really looks great.
Pros
Easy to use, low melting temp. Seams are neat and smooth.
Cons
Very minor sputtering.
Other Thoughts
I had read horrible reviews of all lead free solder and was convinced that I should stay away. Then I started a piece that I really wanted to keep lead-free so I bought 1/2 a Lb of Canfield Lead Free solder and had no problems! I was shocked! I would definitely recommend it.
Pros
Works well to mark glass for cutting or grinding. Does need to have "stay mark" over it if glass will be under running water long.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Pros
nice rods, good colors, cut easily
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
Pros
Great adhesive, bends nicely around curves without splitting.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Good for thinner glass, small pieces, and when a more delicate looking solder line is desired.
Pros
Easy to tin, great for small to medium lamps
Cons
Hard to find a small enough lamp harp to fit it in hardware stores.
Other Thoughts
Pros
These are my go to earring bails. Just the right size so they are not visible from the front. The angle of the loop allows the earring to hang correctly.
Cons
A little difficult to glue on because of their small size. I'm going to try the No Days Bail Bond to see if it's easier now that I've tried it with my pendant bails.
Other Thoughts
I wish they came in a larger package. 12 pair don't go very far.
