Reinforcement

Answer I can't make out where the cut lines are on your picture, so the best i can tell you is: you need to run copper re-strip across (not along them but across them) any hinge joints, making sure it goes from one edge of the panel to the other. It looks like the top and bottom pieces are a single piece of glass. They are big time hinge joints. You will need to solder copper wire along the edges to prevent them from pulling loose. Maybe you're not aware that I have a new ebook out, all about reinforcement. You can read about it Here It will show you where and why and how to reinforce. |

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 |
