Dichro Slide and Fantasy In Glass

Dichro Slide- what a name, sounds like a ride at an amusement park- is a thin dichroic coating that's stuck to a decal like backing that can be cut and applied and fused to any glass. It's been getting some enquiries at the store here lately and we thought we should make some sort of comment here.
We carry almost everything that's of quality, availability and value and have decided to pass on Dichro Side.
It's been closely inspected and tested in our corporate labs under the watchful eye of DichroBoy and we've got several reasons to not bring it in; firstly, cost- it's too expensive! We sell a 4" x 4" piece of dichroic glass at $29.98. A piece of Dichro Slide the same size would be $24.99! Secondly, (and I know that this is subjective but who would ever dare doubt the famous DichroBoy) the colours are not as rich or crisp as the Real Thing, and thirdly, there ain't no patterns! No Boxes, no Spotses, no Splatter (it does matter), no Squares or Pixie Stixs, no Honey Comb or Balloons or Dots or Stripes, no Brick or Hot Lava or Aurora Borealis or Nautilus or Retro or Snakeskin or Spangle or Targets or Tesselation or Navajo or the other twenty patterns we neglected to mention....
