Description: One of the most popular ways to connect stained glass is using the copper foil method. It will hold the glass together well and is great for detailed work. I will show you how to add copper foil to your glass and solder it together. You can also connect stained glass using Lead Came (or Channels). I prefer to use Lead Came for larger stained glass pieces, or if I want a clean streamlined look. I used mostly Lead Came for the larger windows I worked on. Copper foil is more delicate and easier if you have small pieces of glass to connect. Tips Make sure glass is clean before you begin Keep the copper foil even on both sides of the glass Press the foil down well to make sure it sticks to the glass Connect Joints first then connecting lines Stained Glass Supplies I recommend (These can be found in my amazon shop amazon.com/shop/mr.ottera...)
