I asked friends across the US and Canada to try it and here’s what a few of them had to say:

“I wanted to let you know how impressed I am with Steider Studios Glass Medium™.  I have used CMC before, but your product is definitely better.  What I am working on is small sculptures to incorporate into some new pieces.  I can eliminate pouring waxes and making plaster molds, and go straight from the rubber mold to the kiln.  What a wonderful time saver, but more importantly, the sculptures are shiny and not matt, which at times I prefer.”  Avery Anderson, Avery Anderson.com

“Hands down I will buy this product because the results produced are of the highest quality. There is no comparison to any of the other binders on the market. Clear and smooth!” Karina Cross, The Glass Muse

“I’m very impressed with your new binder! It was very easy to get the right consistency to it, and easy to work with…wasn’t sticky or dry, held nicely.” Nicole Hanna, Nicole Hanna Designs

“I find the end result color to be SPOT ON.  I am doing  a variation of  “freeze-n-fuse”  and will continue to tweak and play.  It’s fun to work with and has some great potential for exploration!”  Nancy Barry, Barry Glasseworks

“I found using Linda’s Medium made the glass clay mixture much easier to work with.  I have some new projects on which I plan to use the medium.”  Shirley Hendel

“I love the product. I have carved my own designs, used it in homemade molds, done a little miliefiori, made shapes using candy molds, cut shapes using small cookie cutters, and my favorite way is to pipe it out of a flexible plastic bottle. My mind races with opportunities that this product presents to my glass fusing!”  Shirley Jones, Heart & Soul Studios
