Product Reviews
Pros
This looks wicked cool in tack fused pieces.
Cons
I've had a lot of success using non-dichro clears as the bottom layer in cabs. I thought this would be especially nice, giving the cab both extra color and texture, but it just ends up looking black.
Other Thoughts
Pros
I like the star-like sparkle this navy blue glass lends to tack-fused pendants.
Cons
I'm addicted to using non-dichro colored glass as the bottom layer in cabs, so I had to give this a shot. You don't see any of the sparkle once you fuse on top of it, so stick to tack fusing with this.
Other Thoughts
Pros
I use this constantly as the bottom layer when full fusing. It looks great peeking out from beneath layers of blue dichro, especially blue silver.
Cons
Love the color, but it's not as pictured. The true color is less grey-blue than shown, really more of a deep blue turquoise.
Other Thoughts
Pros
I use this glass for both tack-fused and full-fused pendants and Love it! It turns into a wash of semi-sheer, sparkly blue/bluish teal swirls in the kiln.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I believe the other reviewer when they say their piece of this glass looked nothing like the picture. I had a similar problem with another streaky glass I ordered and really think the wrong stock numbers sometimes end up on Delphi's glass stock.
Pros
This should be renamed Magic Spray because the ease with which it reverses devit is pure magic in my opinion. I vow never to be without this incredible product. For me it works much better than borax solution.
Cons
The only thing I can think of is that in order to reverse devit you must go above 1300. If devit happens during tack fuse or slumping, taking the piece back up to 1300 can result in some change.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Very informative, directions are very clear. When you need a basic handbook, this is a solid reference book.
Cons
Needs a chapter on what not to do
Other Thoughts
Well worth the investment!
Pros
Beautiful detail, smooth surface, nice size. Works well with Hotline Primo Primer, and all details stay crisp.
Cons
none
Other Thoughts
Butterfly and grass details can be highlighted after firing the glass with Pebeo paints, and still be food-safe.
Pros
Thicker than other papers, with a very smooth surface texture. Doesn't adhere to the back of my glass after firing like the cheaper brands. I like that the logo is on one side so that you can be sure to fire the paper logo-side down.
Cons
Not the least expensive paper you can use.

Pros
Beautiful amber waves in this clear seedy glass. The bubbles add to its beauty.
Cons
Came in 4 equal-sized square pieces. Three were almost entirely clear, with only a few very faint hints of amber streaks. Delphi sent replacements for the clear sheets. If I order this again, I will be sure to ask for hand-picked pieces with a fair amount of streakiness.
Other Thoughts
Under the name of this glass it says it is opalescent glass....it is actually all transparent - no opal in this, thankfully. Opalescence would take away from the beauty of this piece.
I used this to border a pineapple done with coronation gold. The clear seedy amber streaky was the perfect compliment.
Pros
One of the most fabulous colored pieces of mottled glass I have ever seen. The swirls and mottles of the blue-green, mixed with forest green and midnight green, are artistic in design, as if the glass fairies danced out of the forest to magically form the patterns in this glass.
Rich, intense, subtle, defined, great mottling, with light and darkness in the mix. The picture can't possibly do the beauty of this piece any justice - the glass is 100X more beautiful than the photo. Differences in the color and pattern continue to hold your gaze - this is what I hope to impart to others in my creation with this glass :)
Cons
Absolutely no cons for this piece.
Other Thoughts
Great for stained glass, or mosaic, borders, accent, flowers, forest, sky, sea floor, living creatures, or fantasy figures
Pros
Reds are intense and bright, whites are bright. The piece I got was a great mix of red and white with defined areas of white and red - not mixed up too much to lose the effect. Mottling is well defined and adds to the beauty of this piece.
Cons
Absolutely no cons on this piece.
Other Thoughts
So beautiful I dream of ideas for projects to use this fabulous glass.
