How to Wrap Glass in Copper Foil for Stained Glass

Now we have finalized our design and we will begin to wrap each piece individually in the copper foil now at this point you might look at your pieces and make sure that there aren't any long pieces of glass that could snag your hands while your wrapping, or if you have the gloves on you won't need to worry about that. So that is a safety issue for sure. We will find the end of the copper foil, find an edge to attach it to, the inside of the copper foil has a tape on it a stickiness so you just have to draw it along the edge even sticking out on both sides, and wrap it as you would a very special package. Now once it is all the way around you need to make sure that it's attached on either side and you use a wooden tool of some kind is best. So we take this for instance and we just go along and make sure it's tight to the edges, very sticky, if you leave this copper foil around too long it loses its stickiness and without that it's only good for wrapping your wrists in. So make that very tight all the way around.
