Step 1 - Remove Glass
To keep from breaking the precut pieces of glass, remove them from the package using an
X-acto knife.
Step 2 -
Foil Glass Pieces
Use 7/32” black backed copper foil to foil each piece
of the bumble bee. Position the glass in the center of
the foil, wrapping the entire piece. Overlap the foil
where the ends meet about 1/8”. Use a fid or lathkin
to burnish the foil. Burnishing smoothes the edges of
the foil and adheres the sticky side of the copper foil
tape to the glass.
