What part of SA are you in? I lived in the country near Tzaneen and in Cape Town for a while. Window looks cool. I have plans for a fused glass nautilus someday
Hi Jean, the bigger your window is, the more strongline you will need. This one is almost a square meter, therefore not a total necessity but advisable. If you go bigger than this one, it becomes necessary. The spaces will mostly depend on your pattern, where you have the straightest lines from one side to the other, but I would say not more than half a meter apart from each other. If you have your pattern before you, you should also get a “feeling” of where they should go, where you think the window will be most likely buckle
Another thing, the more solder lines you have, the stronger your window will be. Because I have quite large pieces in the window, the solder lines are less and I therefore add strongline
Many thanks for your video! Especially when you’re so busy! Love stained glass and can’t wait to see your finished window ❤
Thank you so much Rachel. I just posted the second one 🌷
NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN. THE WINDOW LOOKS NICE SO FAR.
Thank you so much 🌷

Hi Danny, I’m in Pretoria
Hi Sandra, don't know if I missed it, but how often, or how far apart do you use strongline? Also where do you get it from. Tx Jean

Sorry, almost forgot, I bought it on Amazon
