How Do I Overlay Came Face to Glass?
by David
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. David Answer 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. It is available at most craft stores. 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.

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 |
