Corner filler - decorative edge
by Mark Brodien
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.
