Copper foil or lead came
by Imo Kalla
Also given the size would I have to reinforce it with rebar? Answer You should use lead for the door. Foil does not give at all and with a door opening and closing the panel will "oil can" (think of what happens to the can when you squeeze an oil can). Lead and putty will cushion the glass and give with the movement. Yes, you need to reinforce that panel both internally with copper restrip and externally with either a re-rod or a re-bar. If you don't know how to reinforce, I have a new ebook out about reinforcement. You can see what's in it at Here |

You can't imagine how much I wish I had found your incredible website before I spent many hundreds of dollars on lessons, dvd's, tutorials, etc. I can tell that everything I need to know can be found here. All I can say is "Thank You!" Larry
I can't thank you enough for this site. The new search feature is amazing and it makes it so easy to find exactly what I am looking for. Thank you again! Laurie
Your site is fantastic! I took a six week class four years ago and recently started again (after forgetting almost everything I learned!). I have to say that your site is excellent and I can't wait to practice the techniques you've shown. Scarlet
I'm a subscriber to your "Stained Glass Gems" and I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your wonderful site! This is by far the best glass site I've run across. I recently purchased your publication on Patina FAQ and it's very helpful for me... I like to have hard copies of info so I added it to my library. Suzanna |
