I wear a headset magnifier with a 2x lens to make it easier to see that I've positioned the glass in the center of the foil strip -- it's particularly helpful when dealing with textured glass that doesn't have a uniformly thick edge. The headset also has an LED light which illuminates what I'm looking at, and overcomes any shadows cast by the overhead lights in my studio.

What a great idea if your eyes aren't so good! 😀

Is the "fwomp" necessary to get the foil to adhere well? I think I tend to "fwoop" and maybe that is why my lines don't look as clean as yours. 🤨

It's actually the "boop boop boops" that do it...

😂Yup! The fwomp is a must.

😂The boop boops are a bonus to the fwomps. @@bertkutoob
