I love this kind of resin because it's very easy to mix and use. It also doesn't have a strong smell, but I still recommend working in a well-ventilated area. It comes in two bottles, and you mix equal amounts to do your pour, much like epoxy glue but in larger amounts. I use unwaxed paper cups to mix it, and wooden stirring sticks.

My only problem with this resin compared to the kind with catalyst is that it can be harder to unmold if you aren't using it with silicone or molds made for resin. I like using the wells in spot type watercolor dishes. Even using mold release spray, I wound up having to break one to get all the castings out. However, if you are using the suggested products like silicone molds or molds made specifically for resin, that doesn't happen.

I also haven't had much problems with air bubbles as long as I don't stir or pour too fast.

Takes between 24-48 hours to cure completely. Takes about 12 hours to get to click hard, but if you unmold at click hard and you aren't careful you can wind up with finger prints.

Hate pins, just hate having to do all that pinning and then having to stop every few inches to remove them when machine quilting so finally decided to try one of these and am really glad I did. Believe this product to be a little more expensive then some of the others but remember "you get what you pay for". I do use a few pins to anchor all the layers together because I do find it a little difficult to use this tool without having to lift the quilt to get at the bottom but a few safety pins in stragtic places does the trick of holding everything together while you baste the whole quilt with the gun. A few people mentioned the tacks being too long on some products, not with this one, I have not had any issues with shifting of layers using this machine. Would highly recommend trying this out. Oh for those that don't want to add anymore plastic to the environment, the tacks are very small so after cutting them off I just add them to a glass mason jar which should take years to fill.

it says....Sheet size: 2-inch by 6-3/4-inch but the tassel is about 4 inches long! the little sticker panel is cheaply made and can't fit four numbers on it... Really disappointed, though I guess you could hang it on the wall.

I made a nice wind chime with these pre-drilled medium size pipes. I added other metals charms and got a nice lite sound and pretty look with gold twine. They are the best chimes (with hole already drilled) that I could find anywhere online that have a little weight & size to them. (The really tiny ones from the same company only tinkle). This medium size is not too bad for the money though. I can't find pre-drilled chime pipes anywhere but with this National Aircraft company, so I am pleased for what it cost. I will order more from them -this size only.

Blazer Ultrasonic Cleaner Digital Display

Blazer Ultrasonic Cleaner Digital Display
Customer Ratings: 4 stars

The title says it all. This item is one of my better purchases and like an earlier reviewer said, once you try it, you will be searching for other things to clean. The cleaning process is fairly simple. You fill the cleaning chamber with water, place your item in the bin, set the cleaning time, and return to a very clean item.

The 3800 includes the cleaner itself, a tray for smaller pieces and a watch holder. The manual says that "enhanced" cleaning can be accomplished using 5 ml of dishwashing soap. I used Dawn and my watch, ring, and glasses came out extremely clean. With my glasses, I use a microfiber towel to dry them and the lens and frame sparkle. It is the cleanest that I have ever seen the lens.

There is a viewing port, which allows you to see the cleaned item and the dirty water without stopping the cleaning. The timer button is great. You press it repeatedly to cycle through the cleaning times, there are five. My watch band was extremely dirty so I used the 380 second cleaning time. My ring and glasses were clean with the normal 180 second cleaning time.

The 3800 is well built, is relatively quiet, and uses normal tap water. The Owner's Manual is a one-page foldout, but it does tell you everything that you need to know. I have not had the item very long, but currently, I am very pleased with it.

PROS:

(1) Easy, thorough, and convenient cleaning

(2) Relatively quiet for an ultrasonic cleaner

(3) No vibrations felt when touching the housing

(4) Sufficiently long power cord ... no "brick" transformer required

(5) Digital display of cleaning time

(6) Simple user interface

(7) Parts and watch cleaning trays

(8) Five programmed cleaning times

CONS:

(1) Owner Manual recommends that item is not continuously plugged in to wall power outlet

(2) No bell or beep to signal termination of cleaning cycle.

The seller was great. I received the wrong color and had no trouble getting them to swap it. The only reason I gave only 4 stars is the mustard yellow I received is a thinner vinyl. It just doesn't seem as good as the wrong color I got the first time. Would have no problem buying from this seller again!

I've collected rocks (mineral specimens) since my Dad took me out to a road cut in the late 60s. We've used a number of tumblers through the years and even tried a vibratory tumbler. The Lortone 3A tumble stands with the best that we've tried. The container is easy to open and fill. The tumbler is quiet and very reliable. I've had to baby sit some other designs that look somewhat similar to this on (overheating, slipping belt, breaking belt); however, the Lortone runs without a problem quietly doing its job. The end product a batch of polished stones is as good as any I've expected in the 40 or so years I've been tossing rocks into a tumbler.

I agree with the review above.

No instructions....... it will not punch thru more than 2-3 sheets of paper. I am 6'2" and all it does it compress. Most hole punches have a head that goes THROUGH a hole to punch the paper cleanly. This design does not.

Had good experience with Findingking before so, ordered the second item.

The description was wrong on Amazon.com. The description read that it was silver plated but, the actual product was nickel plated. Right now, it shows correctly. Besides the store sent half the order first and upon contacting them with the order number resolved it and send the second packet as well.

I was disappointed because the description read Silver plated but the product was not.

Singer Promise 1409

Customer Ratings: 3.5 stars

It has been a long time since I helped my mother use her Singer sewing machine. Machines are not as solidly built today as they were 40 years ago, but this machine runs much better than the old Singer. Singer has resolved all the old complaints we had back then. This is an easy to use machine for the starting sewer or limited user. It sews many layers of average fabric, I have not tried heavy fabric, but the machine appears robust enough to tackle these jobs. I checked out the machine at the Target Store and noticed that it was light, but much heavier than comparable Brother machines. As an engineer, this means to me more metal and less plastic. The 1409 does have plenty of plastic too, but the use is in the right places; this seems to be a well engineered product in general. I'm satisfied and would recommend it.

I am disappointed with these. They seemed like they would work, until they were on the glasses. The silicone stretches with the weight of the glasses, which makes the holders insecure. I ended up using super glue to hold the coils to the silicone. I'll have to wait to see how that holds up.

Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Silhouette Punch, Tag

Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Silhouette Punch, Tag
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

This punch makes beautiful tags, no doubt about that. The only trouble is that you cannot see clearly how far the paper needs to go into the punch. Normally with tag punches you see the outlines of the tag in the punch and you can put your paper in accordingly. This way you can save a lot of paper. With this tag you cannot see the outlines of the tag, but only the inner side of it (about as far as the small holes in the tag). Because of this, you have to 'guess' how far you have to slide your paper in. In my case this caused some misshapes because I put the paper in too far or too little. It gets me frustrated that it takes more time and you waste more paper this way.

I have historically purchased this paper from Office Depot. I use it to print giclee certificates of authenticity for the fine art reproduction canvases that I make for my clients in my art reproduction business. I was DELIGHTED to discover that Amazon sold it & far less than Office Depot (& that it was eligible for prime shipping!). This is a very fine, quality, solid weight paper that is prefect for high end certificate printing for any purpose. Well worth the price as it adds a really nice value to the final printing application.

I DO like the longer, smaller tips, but for some reason, the joint mechanism STILL keeps oozing black grease after months of usage. You can get a slightly better angle when doing wrapping, but it's marginal.

It's "flimsy" as in when attempting to turn 22 gauge artistic wire (fairly soft) the jaws flip out of alignment-there's no "torque".

I ordered 3 of these -thought they would be a great idea.

only 1 of the 3 worked. The light burned out immediately when I turned on the first one. The light bulb was shattered in the 2nd. The 3rd one did work.
