I'm not sure who the manufacturer is but here is the link to the web site
that I found it on (although I didn't order it through this site). http://artistryinglass.on.ca/store/c...cat=129&page=1 Unfortunately I am not working with lead, hence my concern about the gaps. Thanks to all for the advice. I will attempt to do some careful grinding, as little as possible. Gail "Javahut" wrote in message ... "Gail Sperling" wrote in message ... I just received a bevel cluster I ordered. Unforunately the pieces don't fit together very well where they fit into the end of a "V". There is a large gap. Would you work with this gap or grind the pieces to fit better? Thanks, Gail I'm curious as to the manufacturer? To answer your question, work with what you have, if possible, but also use the tools you have. The manufacturers, at least some of them, assume you are using lead, which gives alot of latitude for the gap, and then cement/grout/putty fills the gap between the lead and glass. It just has to do more of a job when the glass fits that loose. Not the recommended way of doing things, but it is a way of doing it. |

"Commander Barkfeather" wrote in message ... Anybody that copper foils bevels should have their hand slammed in a door! Copper foil is for lampshades and people who are too lazy or stupid to learn leadwork! I used to know this oldtimer that only believed in leadwork. When someone brought him a coperfoiled piece to repair he would tell them, "bring it back to the butcher that made it"! Me...... I do both, and gladly will sacrifice the few remaining principles I may have left, to make some money to feed my family. Copper foil bevels? Sure why not? -- JK Sinrod Sinrod Stained Glass Studios www.sinrodstudios.com Coney Island Memories www.sinrodstudios.com/coneymemories |

Copper foil's great for lampshades and suncatchers. Too rigid for windows, especially beveled wiindows. Also lead looks better. |

I used to wear a copper bracelet that was supposed to help with arthritis.
Didn't work. Didn't know about the skin benefits. "Michele Blank" wrote in message ... copper is good for the skin.m "Moonraker" wrote in message .. . "Michele Blank" wrote in message ... obviously a troll. (And i've got 30 plus years) m And still wearing a thong, too. |

Another thing I've given up is my opinion on what stuff looks better then what.
