Pros
This glass doesn't disappoint. The colors are beautiful and it cuts like butter.
Cons
The 12 x 12" sheet I received is much lighter pink than what Delphi represents.

Pros
I love this grinder! It is versatile and easy to use. The upper deck is great when using the small bits. I was able to drill holes in my fused glass work with very little effort and much less complicated than using a diamond drill bit. The storage drawer is a nice addition.
Cons
None that I can think of.
Other Thoughts
Pros
The instructions were very good. Good results every time.
Cons
I followed the base polishing instructions exactly but the base shape does distort some during the fire polishing. The surface after fire polishing did not have the same shine as the lid does but only slightly better than a matte finish.
Other Thoughts
I am still interested in trying other shapes as well.
Pros
I have worn and re-adjusted mine many times with no issues, glued on glass cabs stay on perfectly. My customers love them as well and I have had none returned.

Pros
I recently used four sheets of Van Gogh glass in a class I taught. They were cranberry, silver, gold and a mixed blue green. The actual colors are as vivid as indicated, and the glass scores and breaks evenly and nippers also do a good job in working with the glass.
Cons
Cutting or nipping very narrow strips (maybe 1/8" or 1/16") too often result in the backing falling off.
Other Thoughts
The glass is a nice addition to regular glass.
Pros
I like this brand of copper foil best. The 1.25ml thickness is strong but easy to burnish.

Pros
I have had this saw now for over a year now and have had no problems with it. I do have a band saw, but enjoy this one much better. In the time I've had this so far only the belt has had to be replaced. I make sure I totally clean it each time after use and remove all the grit. I introduced this to my students and after being afraid of using it they look forward to cutting questionable curves. I admit you do have to work pretty quickly when using it, but have found that using Mark Stay helps a great deal.
Cons
none for me
Other Thoughts
I also like the wide surface area. Wish the head had a spot light to shine on the cutting surface - Maybe that will be their next model.
Pros
I found these molds easy to use, and don't bother with the special mold release.
Cons
They are hard to clean
Other Thoughts
You can also just cut out leaf shapes from glass and mold the veining into the glass, which I actually prefer to casting the frit. You can get a thinner leaf, more options (like irid or dicro) and more consistent results.
Pros
Works well with reproductions of my silk paintings, allowing me to further customize my jewelry. After applying, I use a spray varnish to help maintain permanency. I want to use with my wind chimes, and will be placing the design between 2 sheets of clear to accomplish this.
Cons
As mentioned elsewhere - white becomes clear, so be aware of that. Also, if you use transparent glass and cut around the design, you will be able to see the carrier. Finally, be careful when removing the bubbles. If you work it too much, you will end up tearing the piece, as I did. So it's best not to work with too large a piece.

Pros
Thank goodness for these replacement tips! We have returned our worn out running pliers to "like new!"
Cons
Other Thoughts
Wish someone made the tips to fit all pliers!
Pros
Works great! Easy to use.
Cons
Other Thoughts
Select picture resolution for best color, if it beads up and smears you are using the wrong printer, need to use laser printer as directed. Follow directions and you will have no problems.
Pros
I got a great selection of colors- dark blue, silver blue, gold, red, copper-ish, green, and more. Pieces come in reasonable sizes. Great for jewelry.
Cons
none
