Looks like a very good one! Janelle Zorko (pigeon point glass) is a member here, that's also her LE name. She's a peach and very helpful.

Ro~~~

It looks like it has all the "right stuff"!!! I'm intrigued with the addition of Carbon and Coffee Filters - I'm assuming the "for filtering solution" is to clean it at some point after many uses. I didn't know that was either recommended or suggested...maybe Tink can give you advice on that. She's done e-forming for quite some time and I figure she well knows if the solution really needs to be "filtered" and cleaned out in some way. I'm thinking "If it ain't broke (or polluted!), don't fix (filter) it". But that's just me, and I'm no expert.

I suppose if the price is good, then it's worth giving it a go! Eforming kits, I know, are an "assemblage" of goodies from various sources - but in reality, they are quite simple. I know, for example, that if you have a "Fry's" electronics store accessible to you, some of them carry that 3 AMP Digital Rectifier.

The effect of eforming is just so awesome, I know if this is in good working order and you follow the basics, you'll be hooked.

Here's a link with a lot of informaiton and a tutorial I found posted by Vickie Hallmark of fiber.Art.glass:

Good luck!
