Clean Up Supplies:

to

· 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: Foiling the Glass -Using the 7/32”
copper foil, position the glass in the center of
the foil, wrapping the entire piece. Overlap the
foil where the ends meet about 1/8”. Foil the
inside edge of the frame with 7/32” copper foil.
|
|
|
·
Step 3: Burnishing the Foil - Use a
fid or Lathkin to burnish the foil (use a hard,
thick and rounded edge of a plastic or wooden Lathkin
to press the foil flat on all sides and
edge of the glass). Burnishing
smoothes the edges of the foil and adheres the
sticky side of the copper foil tape to the glass.
Hold the glass pieces in place with push pins.

|
·
Step 4: Fluxing
the Panel - Using a flux brush, apply the flux
to the copper
foil lines. Flux comes in a liquid or paste form.
The flux etches the copper, which allows it to
accept the solder.
·
Step 5: Soldering
- Tack-solder at the joints to keep the pieces of glass
from moving. Run a final smooth, rounded bead on the front and
back of the glass.
|
|
|
· Step 6:
Adding Feathers, a Ring
and Cleanup
Tack-solder a ring at the desired point of your
Red Hat. We recommend a joint on the back side in a
central location but if place off center your Red Hat Lady
will hang at an angle for a little bit of
attitude!
Clean your artwork
completely with your flux cleaner & dry. Patina
your solder work if desired, clean and dry again. The
final step, polish.
Adding feathers, beads,
lace, etc. takes your Red Hat to a whole level of
uniqueness! Simple use Weldbond Adhesive
and
attach your embellishment. We used some trimmed
peacock feathers giving that glitter you often see with
Dichroic glass.
