@AnitaDlane The tools and materials needed for stained glass can be a somewhat subjective decision, and can vary based on whether you wish to create in the "Tiffany" Copper Foil technique or in a traditional Leaded Glass technique. The items that you are certain to need are a quality glass cutter, running and/or breaking pliers, and an appropriate soldering iron and solder. There are several beginner kits available, or you can equip your workshop with individually selected items. You may wish to request a Get Started Catalog which supplies helpful tips, basic instruction and offers the most popular tools and kits. Helpful video tutorials on everything from glass cutting to soldering basics can also help you determine which tools and supplies you wish to use - find them art www.ArtGlassTV.com.

Looking for what tools are need for stained projects and cost.

@borsodi.erika79 At this time we have not conducted any testing of the Glassline Pens in the microwave kiln. The notes provided previously about adjusting the power level and time to experiment and develop a firing schedule for your microwave and kiln are a good suggestion if you wish to try using Glassline in your projects.

@comments2 Hello! Did You tested the Glassline paints in the micro klin? Thank You!

@kjcarfieldIt should be sufficent if you are running the rebar from horizontally from one side to the other.

@gatormichals you do need to make sure to remove ALL of the Primo Primer. You might try a dry scouring pad or light sand paper to make sure that all of the primer is removed. Nylon panty hose and paper grocery bag can also do the job effectively. We offer a new product that is replacing MR-97 - it's called ZYP - it's in stock now.

@niemanla one piece of rebar through the center should be sufficient to support your piece.

@billingsc The fiber rope compresses a bit with the weight of the glass during firing. You might try wrapping the fiber rope in a small piece of shelf paper to help it hold it's shape better. A piece of wire can be used to help push the fibers out of the hole when you're done.

I want to use the twisted rope to make holes right through my glass, once fused is there an easy way to remove the fired rope from in between the glass. Right now I have put the glass into water and then used a fishing line to try and push strands through.

I'm working on a 27" radius half circle panel that will go on the inside of a window flat against the glass. (I can send you a picture of panel pattern in the actual window) The panel will have 3/8" U zinc along the bottom, and 1/8" zinc capping along the circle outer edge. Will a single 1/8" x 1/4" tinned steel rebar placed vertically up the center of the panel be sufficient? I plan to attached the rebar on the front side so the panel can rest flat against the window glass.
