Lead Came and Round Projects

by Pam
(Chicago)

I am new to stained glass. Do you have to use lead came for round projects?

Answer

Hi Pam,

I'm not exactly sure what you are asking, but I'll assume you want to know if you need to border a copper foil project with lead came. If I'm wrong on my assumption, let me know in the comments section below.

Anyway, no...you do not have to use lead came, but it would be my first choice. You could use zinc if you're wanting a solid metal border. You would need a came bender to form the zinc in a circle.

However, there are many ways you can finish the edges of a copper foil project. Have a look Here for other ways to finish the edges.

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
