Pros
This mold was so much fun to use and so easy! I found the best result was using a solid piece of glass with a hole drilled in the middle, rather than cutting the circle into 4 pieces. Glass placement doesn't have to be exact. I did one with solid glass ocverage and one with mosaic pieces 1/2 irr up and 1/2 irr down so I could see the different effects.
Cons
Instructions talk about using irridecent glass and the different results of using it up or down. This was confusing to me because it was my first lamp attempt. I called delphi and they explained that you can use regular fusing glass and the irr glass was only an option you could use. Firing takes a long time for both steps. Lamp shade isn't very long.

Pros
Small, petite do not need much... Similar to industrial "Never-Seiz" Graphite Lube.. A little dab goes far.
Great Stuff BUT!
Cons
Do not over apply
wear rubber gloves if applying, once on your fingers you may wish you thought of something else to do that day (can be messy if not used in limitations
Other Thoughts
Worth having in your Tool Kit, You do not need too much, actually the purchase tube one time may last YOUR Lifetime,
if in a class SHARE one tube
Pros
Tac fused well. Excellent price. No bubbles or devitrification issues. So far, so good.
Cons
thin, but you get what you pay for.
Other Thoughts
Washed glass very well and got off all of the sticker remnants prior to using. I also use thinfire sheets instead of primer on my shelves in an effort to avoid bubbles and devitrification issues that can occur with opal glass.
Pros
Discrete and light way to hang small suncatchers and ornaments. Much less obtrusive than chain.
Overall great product. I used it on everything up to about 2 pounds of weight.
Cons
None

Crimping the line can be tricky to do. I was never able to get a good crimp with just pliers. I use a bench vise to crimp the connectors securely.
Pros
The Toyo Dry Wheel Supercutter is the best thing to ever happen for glass cutting. The ease of use & no messy oil to deal with is great! Cuts like a charm too.

I coated it with primer and cured it in the kiln according to the suggestions that came with the mold before I fired glass on it. The result was great! A smooth bottom without a trace of kiln wash
