Cutter's Mate Mini Extra Starter Kit by Melisa M on June 18, 2012 4 stars
Pros
Awesome for cutting straight lines, can cut 12" x 12" sheets, very easy to make a perfect score.
Cons
Sometimes the whole contraption falls off the grid trying to maneuver the arm into a good position for scoring, one piece of grid isn't enough unless you are only working with very small pieces of glass.

Bullseye Mega 45 lb. Glass Pack - 90 COE by Heather M on June 18, 2012 5 stars
Pros
This pack is lots of fun and a great value. Left to make my own choices, I would never have tried some of this glass, especially the striker, which I love.
Cons
Some of the colors are not at all me, especially the browns, yellows and tans.

Salamander Casting Mold by susanlindrud on June 17, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Fun shape and small enough to use as an embellishment if you like.
Cons
None.
Other Thoughts
You must use the recommended primer to get good results. I've made a bunch of these in all colors. I use as embellishments on boxes, paperweights and magnets. Kids love them.

Bullseye Thinfire Shelf Paper - 20-1/2" x 20-1/2" Sheet by Heather M on June 14, 2012 5 stars
Pros
I hate dealing with kiln wash and now I can avoid it more often. I use paper for fusing, not slumping, and have had no problems. I will buy more!
Cons
None.

Diamond Hand Pad Assortment - 4 Pack by Heather M on June 14, 2012 5 stars
Pros
I adore these pads. I just started in glass and have saved several pieces from ruin with this set.
Cons
The pads are expensive.
Other Thoughts
Though the pads are more expensive, I think they will last a long time and will pay for themselves over time.

Diamond Tech Core Drill Bit Set by wendythepooh45 on June 13, 2012 5 stars
Pros
I LOVE these drill bits!! Wish I had bought them a lot sooner!! Cuts glass like butter! Highly recommend!! I also recommend watching the video on drilling glass.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I purchased them on sale, but even at full price they are a must have if you want to drill a hole in glass!

Mark Stay 2 - 1 Oz. by glsslvr (top contributor) on June 12, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Keeps your marker lines where you put them, even with the ring saw. I saw a previous review that said it lifts off. I have had that happen, but have decided it happens when you have applied it to thickly. Just a skim of the wax works so well!
Cons
It takes a little extra elbow grease to clean the glass for foiling.
Other Thoughts
I just finished 16 lanterns - 4 panels each - that required saw work to fit around glass nugget clusters. It would have been an impossible job without Mary Stay.

Curved Neck Bottle Slumping Mold by anngelab on June 12, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Awesome mold - great for making something with a handle
Cons
Must be sprayed

Youghiogheny Marigold and White Opal High Strike Mottle by Lizardan (top contributor) on June 11, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Color in the picture is a match - this is absolutely the most beautiful glass! I have ordered this glass several times, & each sheet is the same. Little white, almost completely marigold, with the white blended in. Good color, good light transmission, & can be used for stained glass or mosaic, as well.
Cons
It is a special order - but the wait is worth it.
Other Thoughts
Cuts well. Mottling is apparent, but not obvious or overpowering

1/4 Lb CBS Textures Dichroic Scrap - 90 COE by intrigueart on June 10, 2012 5 stars
Pros

Cons

Glass Eye 2000 Software by Tut on June 7, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Terrific support. Even when I have a hard drive crash twice they helped me reinstall my software. I run the Professional version. Could not ask for better service.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Even though I have been at stained glass for a long time I continue to learn more.

Waffle Grid Work Surface - 6 Pack by starryfuser on June 7, 2012 5 stars
Pros
Use them individually or snap together... great cutting surface! Great for classes too! My students love having their own mini-cutting surface!
Cons
Haven't found any!
