How Do I Overlay Came Face to Glass?

Hi Sue,

GREAT info on your site...

Question: I've done some copper foil overlay, but am interested in overlaying the face of the lead came in a similar fashion. Once the heart is removed, what is the best technique for affixing the face of the came to the glass? Would you solder it to some copper foil or use some sort of adhesive?

Thanks for all of your dedication to your craft and this site.

Hi David,

I would use an adhesive. E6000 works very well on glass and metals. It dries clear, which is a bonus. I've used it to glue all sorts of things to glass. There are other adhesives for glass, but I have not used them, so E6000 is the only one I can recommend.

Your project sounds interesting. If you would, please submit a picture to the Photo Gallery when you're done. I'm sure I'm not the only one that would enjoy seeing it.
