Foiling Inner Curves

I've been working on an angel suncatcher. The halo and the angel's face are both circular and the face fits inside the halo. I've had a lot of trouble trying to foil the inner circles. The foil keeps splitting. Any advice for an easy way to foil deep circular cuts?

Answer

When you have a deep inside curve, ease the foil in the curve little by little. If you ease it in, pressing it down a little bit at a time, you should be able to avoid splitting the foil. Make sure the foil isn't stretched tight in the curve. It will split, for sure, when you start folding it over the edges.

Also, I have found that Venture foil is fairly stiff and splits quite easily because it doesn't stretch. Edco foil is much more pliable and does stretch if you ease it into the curve,

I hope this helps to slove your problem.
