Dual Pane Windows

I am seeking help on the techniques of dual pane stain glass work. How do you keep condensation from entering in between the panes?

The best way to keep condensation from becoming trapped between the panes is to allow "breaking" space around the edges of the glass. I am assuming that you have a permanent already existing outside window that you are placing a second window behind. You can use Designer Glass Clips. The clear poly-carbon clips make installations simple and secure without detracting from the art glass. The clips create an 1/8" air space between the panel and window, which allows air to circulate and eliminates moisture and heat build up. They can be easily removed for cleaning or moving. If you would like to hide these clips, you can place a wooden molding in front of them and create a lip which will slide over the clips by routing out small areas. This molding then can be nailed into place.
