I learned this art years ago. Life got busy and for the last 20 years it remained a happy memory. Today your video appeared. Learning about the new methods (and tools) has inspired me. This is a beautiful art done using this original method. I will be adding your recommended tools to my original set. Thank you for inspiring me to begin again ❤

Good info. I always go into these stained glass videos with a lot of skepticism, but you did good. I'm a firm believer in doing what feels best and what gets the job done for you. I taught stained glass for many years, and most people had issues with "foiler tools", and always reverted back to doing it by hand. The extra time was never an issue as they were socially as well as ending up with a beautiful stained glass piece. The only thing I'd say not to do it patch in a piece of foil. While the adhesive sticks well to glass it doesn't stick well to the copper. (If it is a fresh roll, then typically this is not an issue, but most rolls of copper foil have been sitting on shelves for a very long time, and the adhesive becomes weaker over time) You also you touched upon inside curves, slow and steady wins the race, the nice thing about foil is that it will generally stretch more than you'd think. And lately, don't waste money on a dedicated "burnishers" (again this is always a personal choice as well) the body of a "Sharpie" pen is all you need.

I was pretty convinced I'd never be able to do any of this, but maybe with one of the tools at the end, it's possible :)

@Mr.StainedGlass 8 месяцев назад

They are very helpful!

What backing color foil do you recommend for beginner?

@Mr.StainedGlass 10 месяцев назад

I recommend silver or black. Silver, you won't have to patina the solder. Black will hide more mistakes, but you will have to apply patina.

I want to take up stained glass as a hobby, but would really not like to buy a glass grinder. would it be possible to use a Dremel to use in place of it?

@Mr.StainedGlass 6 месяцев назад

I would not recommend it!

@eunicedavis6250 9 месяцев назад

I have used the table foiler and the hand held foiler. No luck. The table foiler damaged the foil.

@Mr.StainedGlass 9 месяцев назад

I found the table foiler a bit hard to use, but the c clamp and creators foiler works great for me.

@MiruBlood 8 месяцев назад

What about taping a curved edge like a bottle edge….

@Mr.StainedGlass 8 месяцев назад

I would do a ring of tape on the face of the bottle first, then do a layer on top of the edge like normal so when it tears it will have foil from the first layer under it. Hope that helps!
