Cons
None

Gryphon Came Saw by bobreetz on December 5, 2012 5 stars
Pros
If you cut a lot of Zinc or Brass Came, you've got to get one of these. It is so much quicker, more accurate, and easier than the old craft saw and wooden miter box method. It's also fairly small, compact, and portable so it doesn't need to take up a lot of space. Once you have all the stained glass tool essentials, put this on your list. You'll love it.
Cons
I don't know why it is so expensive. There's not that much to it.
Other Thoughts
Gryphon makes some pretty good stuff.

Papyros Shelf Paper - 20-1/2" x 20-1/2" Sheet by katyokaty on December 4, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Seems to not stick to opaque glass nearly as much as Bullseye. Sheet remains almost intact after normal flring and may possibly survive another firing, though i have not checked. Overall, much less of a mess to work with with less dust flying around after firing (always a good thing!).
Cons
None noted.

Peace Sign Jewelry Mold by t1312151154 on December 1, 2012 5 stars
Pros
I have enjoyed making the peace signs. I have used small scraps of glass in mixed colors to creat cool peace signs.
Cons

Table Foiler by ddds937 on November 30, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Seeing an item with all 5 star ratings makes me a bit skeptical but this one lives up to that billing. It was easy to use right out of the box, though I found the instruction sheet a bit baffling, at times. The Table Foiler speeds up foiling by a significant amount of time. This due to ease of foil application as well as the evenness of the foil application that I found difficult to control with other foil dispensers.
Cons
None at this time but after somewhat limited use.

Bullseye Southwest Splendor Value Glass Pack - 90 COE by Lisa E on November 29, 2012 5 stars
Pros
I am new to glass, so like to try new things. Got a real range of glasses, some beautiful & expensive, some sort of boring. overall got more value than I paid for!
Cons
2 ugly pieces--- but 6 good to great!
Other Thoughts
I like the surprise factor.

9-3/4" Rectangular Sushi Plate Mold by smadronia on November 29, 2012 4 stars
Pros
Is a nice length, and slumps beautifully.
Cons
Needs extra time in the kiln to slump fully, otherwise it rocks back and forth. Not as deep as I thought it would be.
Other Thoughts
This is a great dish, and I've made many 3 part dishes, and used it as a mold to make sauce/tea bag/jewelry holds with. You can use the two ends to make 2 dishes at once. However, I didn't realize how narrow the plate was, or how shallow the dents are. If you're going to order it, sketch out the measurements so you know how big it is, and realize it's only about a half inch deep if you're using 6mm glass.

13" Plastic Cutting Square by klpmaryk on November 29, 2012 5 stars
Pros
It's all very simple, really. It helps you to score glass or mark glass in a nice straight line!
Cons
Haven't found any.
Other Thoughts
I was using a carpenter's square, refusing to believe that I needed this "piece of plastic." Well, this "piece of plastic" has paid for itself over and over again.

Circle Jewelry Mold by ravenbraid on November 29, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Recycle glass "leftovers", balanced shape, quick & easy pendant
Cons
Only makes 1 at a time unless you buy more; Post in the mold makes the Boron Nitride release recommended.
Other Thoughts
Fill weight worked out to 20 grams of 104 COE frit. I'll buy additional molds so I can make more than 1 per kiln run.

Wine Glass Jewelry Mold by ravenbraid on November 29, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Easy to use, shape is very recognizable, finished piece becomes a necklace quick with silk ribbons/leather. I bought it to make Christmas ornaments for some wine-loving friends.
Cons
Only makes 1 at a time, post in the center could be fragile; I used the Primo Primer ONCE. After a 24-hour soak in water poking at the edges with a toothpick, it finally released from mold. The Boron Nitride spray allows for a MUCH easier release. I won't use the Primo Primer in a mold with a post again.
Other Thoughts
I agree with the prior user that noted 0.7 ounces (just under 20 grams) as the appropriate fill weight.
