Framing a large round stained glass piece
by Kathryn
Thanks! Hi Kathryn, I don't work with zinc. I only use lead came. You can frame your panel with lead, which will bend easily. You could either use H came or U came. We frequently frame with 1/2" H lead, then push U came in the outside channel to give it a nice finish. If you want to bend zinc, you will need to purchase a came bender. The larger the diameter of the circle, the easier the zinc will bend.

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 |
