Just as I was finishing up a sun catcher, the glass cracked...
What to do?
Throw it away?
No, I worked too hard on it and liked it too much. Time to learn how to repair a copper foil stained glass piece!
I removed the solder and broke out the offending glass.
With the soldering iron and tweezers, I removed the foil that had surrounded the cracked piece. This was a tough job and I almost gave up here!
The edge finally cleaned up, I cut and foiled a new piece.
I soldered it together again (being careful not to get the glass too hot this time) and added a ring.
Voila!
Oh yeah - the agave bloom? Guess what happened to it.
