Copper Foiling With an Electric Frying Pan

by Jim
(Brick NJ )

I was having trouble getting my copper foil to stick to my glass edges.

I washed the glass edges with water and soap detergent, then I cleaned the glass off with windex to get any oil from my skin off.

I still had trouble with the foil sticking properly so I took a electric frying pan on LOW and left the glass in there about twenty minutes so it would dry and warm up the glass. The foil sticks beautifully.

 Drying and Warming Glass For Foiling
by: Vladimir

After washing the glass, place the glass on a ceramic tile (8" X 8").
I use paint remover electric gun to dry the glass and at the same time to warm it up for foiling.

 Drying Glass
by: Brad B

If you only have a couple pieces that need foiled to complete your project and you don't want to wait for them to dry after washing run a hot soldering iron around the edges quickly. Use pliers to hold the glass. Works like a charm.

 Heating Pad

Laying the glass on a heating pad also works well.
