Copper Foil

Used instead of lead in most lampshade work, and on many other projects. First you wrap the copper foil around the entire perimeter of the glass, where it is held in place by its adhesive backing. After you have wrapped and fitted together several pieces, you run a continuous bead of solder along all of the exposed copper. You then turn the work over and repeat the process on the reverse.

Venture Tape 6" Wide Copper Foil (per foot) For foiling larger shapes like leaves, silhouettes, or dog snouts. It is adhesive backed, and can be burnished, tinned and patinated, just like regular rolls of copper foil strip. (Did you know that the verb form of patina is patinate? Neither did we until moments ago.) 1.0 mil. $1.76, 12 for $18.96, 48 for $67.68 7303	Venture Tape 1.0 mil Copper Foil Tape This is the standard thickness tape that we have been offering for the past 20 years. Each roll contains 36 yards.
Venture Tape Heavy Gauge Copper Foil Tape This tape is 1.5 mil thick and is preferred by some because it does not tear as easily. Other folk prefer the lighter gauge because it is easier to crimp around the edge of the glass.
