Well it’s the season to Get Back to Stained Glass. And for fused glass, mosaics and etching, beads and lampworking groupies, too. Before all of you glass cutters start your glass grinders, you may want to run through this checklist:
* Check your copper foil inventory for shelf life dates – how old is it? Not sure if it will adhere well to the glass? Test a piece. And always keep it covered once opened, to keep it fresh longer
* Clean & check your work boards and work surface for dents/cracks/warpage.
* Clean & Oil breakers and runners before using
We’ll have a few more pointers and suggestions in our next post.
Happy glass breaking! 🙂
