Placement isn’t too difficult if you remember these rules: 1. The strongest reinforcement runs the shortest distance from edge to edge 2. Reinforce perpendicularto a lead line that might fold. Parallel lines and borders are good examples
The Re-Strip* (paid link) is 10 mil thick and has a bit of a life of its own. You can see it being used in the left-hand panel, above. 1. Re-Strip does sit higher above the glass a little but this is hidden once you solder the seams. Georgia used this to her advantage because the centre plate that it supports was heavy and stuck out quite a bit fro...
Morton Strong Line*(paid link) is heavier than Re-Strip at 20 mil thickness. It jumps about a bit as you are assembling your stained glass panel. You can try using horseshoe nails to keep the end you are not working with in place so it doesn’t jump around. As with the braided wire (below), you have to shave a mm off your glass piece to accommodate ...
Flex-bar is a braided copper reinforcement originally used for reinforcing lamps. The solder drips into it and stiffens it during assembly. Georgia used it for stiffening and reinforcing across the centre of the panel, right above. The blue line shows roughly where the braided reinforcement was placed. 1. It is the same height as the glass so it di...
With these Strong Line or Re-Strip solutions I would: 1. choose 1 or 2 straight-ish central line/s (depending on the height of the panel) and cut the metal strip a couple of inches longer at each end. 2. bend the strip upwardsat either end a couple of inches and solder these ‘tails’ into the lead or zinc frame. 3. melt some solder in the inside of ...
Question: Should the reinforcing go horizontally or vertically?
1. The basic principles are if it’s a tall narrow window, go across with the reinforcing. 2. If wide and short, go vertical.
Question: When I solder the panels together do I need to reinforce the panels before soldering? If the answer is yes how should I do that?
I have designed and created 3 stained glass panels separately and now want to put them together to make a single rectangular panel for a transom window 66″ in length (actually I am doing 2 windows). Each single panel is 22″ using foiled technique. I plan to go around the perimeter with U came. I have attached my design that measures 10 7/8 x 66. There are (3) panels. Starfish, Chairs, and Starfish again. This will be placed on the inside of the transom windows using silicone or small window m...
Question: Saddle Bar Attachments
I’m fitting some restored stained glass panels into new wood frames. The panels are roughly 1m 26cm (4ft 2″) high so I’m fitting saddle bars horizontally in either 2 maybe 3 placed to tie the panels too. How do I fit the saddle bars to the framework? Should I just make the saddle bars the width of the window and once the panel is tied would that be sufficient? Milly’s Reply: Work out where you’re going to place the saddle bars and drill 2 (or 3) holes on both sides of the wooden frame, one ab...
