How to Bond Stained Glass Pattern Pieces

ALLISON KLINGER: On behalf of ExpertVillage.com, my name is Allison at Western Art Glass. And we are into our next step of our stepping-stone making. In previous steps, remember, we had our template. We had our mold drawn out. I've got a piece of dry wall; some people call it sheet rock. This is my favorite work surface to work on. You can see spills, chemicals. I cut on it. I've draw on it, and I don't even worry about it. It's a work surface, okay? Anyway, there's our pattern. What we need to do is we need to actually bond it to the dry wall. I like to use this glue. I just spray on, okay? And spray on a piece of paper, okay? It is glue, and glue can go everywhere. So you can use some glue stick, rubber cement, whatever. I'm literally going to put it down on this board. I'm just going to run it over like this, okay? So it's nice and attached to my board. Next step I'm going to do, this is vital for stepping-stone making. Make sure you got a pair of scissors around. They're always handy in a shop. Clear, clear, clear, clear, clear contact paper, okay? You're going to measure it out, take a guess, okay? You can get contact paper from Kmart, Costco, any type of store like that. So anyway, we're going to do that. I'm not worried about anything except it covers my pattern, okay? This stuff is like sticky on one side and not on the other. How about that? So anyway, peel that off. And on the next segment, I'll show you what to do with the sticky side of the contact paper. This is a booger to work with, as far as to get the wax off the sticky, but we want sticky side up right now, okay? It will eventually give way. Okay, sticky side up. I am not putting the sticky side onto my paper pattern. This is really, really, really important, okay? Sticky side up. It might take you a minute to do this. It's taking me a minute. If you have some help, it might help out. See you next segment.
