Clean Up Supplies:

· Stained Glass Finishing Compound
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: Foiling the Bevel - This is
the same process as the Frame kit. Using the 7/32” copper foil, foil
all edges of the Bevel frame.
·
Step 4: Burnishing the Foil - 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.
Hold the glass pieces in place with push pins.

|
|
·
Step 5: 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 the Panel & Cleanup
- Tack-solder at the joints to keep the pieces of glass
from moving. Run a smooth, rounded bead on the front and
back of the panel. Solder panel to the quick frame.
|
|
· Step 6:
Soldering the Ball Chain Edge
Tack-solder at various points around the panel pulling the ball chain tight before each tack. After the ball chain has been tacked to the panel fill in open spaces with solder between the panel and the ball chain to form a nice frame. Attach hooks and a chain for hanging.
