Pattern shears are the secret to creating perfectly fitting glass pieces! These shears will cut away a strip of paper that is the same thickness as the strip of foil you will use to create your project. Cut back on the need for excessive grinding!

FOIL BURNISHER
with Edge Smoother Handle

foil burnisher

Burnishing the foil on the front and back of the glass pieces is desirable for a smooth track for the solder to adhere to. It is not necessary to burnish with such energy as to attempt to form a molecular bond between the copper foil and glass. Simply smoothing out the wrinkles will suffice.

NUGGET FOILER

nugget foiler

Foil nuggets and jewels fast! Just roll your jewel or nugget over copper foil that lays in a track, burnish as usual, and you�re done. Uses up to 1/4" foil.

KWIK CRIMP

This durable plastic crimper makes burnishing task a breeze.

After foiling the piece of glass, slightly push down the foil on all sides and 'crunch' the corners. Then slide the piece of foiled glass through the Kwik-Crimp fingers. With one swipe, the foil is strongly adhered to the sides of the glass and the foil is ready for soldering.
