Household Items Used in Stained Glass Work

by Cathy Orr

I know I might be a bit late but I wanted to add to the household tool suggestions. I use a meat baster to remove some of the water from my grinder so that when I pick it up to empty and clean the grinder it doesn't spill all over the place. I also use the baster to add water to my sponge to wipe my soldering tips off and sometimes to add a little water to my grinder. It keeps me from lifting a heavier supply jug of water and is neater.

Thank you for all the information and support you provide. I have recommended your site to several people who are beginning to work with stained glass and they are very thankful for your help! Keep up the good work.

Thanks for that Cathy. Many people reading this probably don't know what you're talking about when you say "household tool suggestions". So, I'll explain.

A couple of months ago, I asked my ezine subscribers to tell me what household items they use in their stained glass work. I was surprised at the number of replies that I got, and the different things people use from around the house to make working with stained glass easier and less expensive. I shared the list in the next ezine.

The question I asked last month was "what do you use to keep a round project round while you're constructing it?" Again, I got many replied, and I'll be sharing them in this months ezine.
