Corner filler - decorative edge

by Mark Brodien
(Grand Rapids, MI)

Have corners ever given you a problem, where two pieces of glass meet on an angle (boxes or shades)....I strip the insulation off some electrical wire, take ends and clamp into a cordless drill chuck (tighten down) then clamp the other end(s)in a vise then hit the trigger and slowly twist the 2,3 ro evne 4 wires together in a perfect spiral.(keep tension on wire as you twist it up or it'll bind) Cut to length, flux and solder into place. It makes for a much nicer looking seam and you'll use less solder than trying to fill it. This twisted wire also looks great running around the edges of a suncatcher....Try it out.

What People
Are Saying

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
