Warnings are not in product description. I purchased this glue for people to use for a craft program at my job.

Worth the money for a beginner. For a little over ten bucks, you really can't go wrong. I've never carved before, but wanted to make a specialized project for a Christmas present.

Don't buy this. I read where someone said this is THE glue gun, then it said it was cordless, all sounded good so I bought it. You have to keep setting it back in the base which is plugged in (corded), so the cordless part is a little misleading. I still would've been OK with it, but after the first day of use, it star...

Nice hacking tool. I love Sugru. I saw it first on Geekbeat TV and was very curious that I bought one even having to pay shipping from UK; now it is available on Amazon. It is really fun to work with. It likes playing with Play-doh where you roll it in your fingers and then create. So far I have used it to prevent fu...

Pretty good. This portable hole puncher has received some rave reviews from my family. My sister was around when I opened it up and has been using it every since. She is an elementary school teacher so it is a very handy gadget. I used it put holes in my planner pages. It is super cute and seems sturdy so far. The...

ComPilot. This is my 2nd generation "ICom" from Phonak. It has great sound (for me as well as the caller on my phone.) I love that it will announce the caller's name if programmed into my phone. Pairing with TVLink is easy also. Pairing with smartphone is extremely easy. With TVLink I can adjust volume to my needs w...

No instructions, parts not marked, about a foot too short. My grandma had a stand similar to this but after she died I guess it got thrown away. I ordered this one thinking it would be as tall as hers and easy to use. Its not hard to use ONCE you get it put together tho it is 6 inches to a foot too short. I can only gu...

Disappointed. Because these masks are so small, it is very difficult to get the details inside the masks to show up well. Also, the mask has a light tacky adhesion on one side that is supposed to help you keep the mask on your paper while you paint over it. I used the Ranger Distress Ink with the foam applicator and ...

Okay face crayons, not the best. We bought these for our five year old for his birthday. He does love face painting, and often asks us to do various things on his face. While these have held up well, they are a little hard to use as the paint crayons don't really spread on the face very smoothly or easily, requiring lo...

Good kit Laser cutter. This review is for the 130W unit. It arrived in a large crate. I paid extra for lift gate service and the driver dropped the unit right at my garage door. Nice large crate. I removed the crate and the large quantities of foam that surrounded it. Then I slid some steel pipes under the machine o...

Not bad for casting non-metal 2 dimentional objects. Not bad for casting non-metal 2 dimentional objects, or probably slow setting liquids. 4-stars. I couldn't get it to work to cast a 3 dimentional wax ring, but i'm sure it's possible if you own a wax injector or something. Pouring liquid wax into the mold didn't w...

Falls short of expectations. I really like having an embossing folder organizer, but I am so disappointed that it does not contain pockets to hold ALL sizes of embossing folders. This folder can only hold sizes 4.25 x 6.25 and the measurements of the pocket size capability was not listed in the product description. I h...

Everything you need, paint included. My kids can't wait to paint these cute eggs. This set includes 3 unpainted wooden eggs, 4.5 inches tall. Each egg has a black outline of cute easter scenes. Some of the pictures include flower, a rooster, a bunny, and tulips. Each egg has a flat bottom, so it will stand on it's o...
