I started stained glass after retireing as a hobby,since my sight is not that good anymore I use 1/4"foil and know it is thicker then I wished I could use. Seen a tv show,where a glass artist made bevel inserts for large french doors and 6 big windows, she said she only used foil as not to take away fom the beauty of the bevels. Now I know these bevels are heavy and 6ft doors and almost as big windows,but no lines to be seen at close up,
not buckeling or bending when they where caried to the doors to be inserted, the overall pannels looked like all bevels fitted together like a puzzle. I gues they where between glass pannels to be installed,but how can such big pieces be handled with only thin and narrow foil. would like to make me a 30 x 36 but would be scared they fall appart. I know there are super & longtime glass artist's out there,how would that be done. thank you. md
