- Learn how to cement a leaded stained glass panel. This part of the process weatherproofs your window and also extends its lifetime as a functional window. Lead came stretches over time and the wear and tear from the weather is what determines its longevity.

Excellent video for a process that's not all that common nowadays. Very detailed and accurate.
Thank you!
Damp works. Excellent tutorial, I’ve done copper foil but have a project that really needs cane instead and had no idea how hat would hold. Huge step I knew nothing about. Thank you so much for this!
So glad you found the video helpful!
Thank you that was detailed and so helpful ❤
So glad you found it!! Thank you
Thank you!
☺️
Thank you for sharing!!! I’m still learning to cut but eventually I’ll need this information.
Amazing! Have fun!
Thank you for the videos!
I am 100% new to all of this, I've been wanting to make stained glass panels for another project for a long time and your videos are quite comprehensive!
I appreciate your time and the information. Subbed.
So glad you are enjoying the videos and finding them helpful!! Glass is such a rewarding craft, I hope you have lots of fun learning for your glass project! Thanks!
Thanks KC..... Doing a huge leaded Cross.... I found you video helpful. I seen people leave the whiting on for 4 hours before brushing off?
Glad you are finding the videos helpful! Ya you definitely don’t need to leave whiting on that long. It’s only purpose is to soak up excess oil and help polish/clean up your lead. Just a few minutes is plenty of time for it to do its job!
Did you say how you make the shiny solder spots black? Thanks
Yes, I use black patina on the solder.
Do you need to polish the lead after you finish (like you do with a copper foil piece) to protect the lead from turning white? Or does the cement somehow do that?
Yes you do! The easiest way to polish lead is to take a soft bristle brush and some elbow grease and give it a good scrub. It will darken the lead and shine up very nice!
@@KCGlassworks Thanks! But do you actually apply a wax polish? Or just the elbow grease? :)
@@kriswiseman4499 no wax, just good ol’ elbow grease!
Softwood saw dust is pretty good to clean the glass, remove flux and polish the lead. Just put a generous amount of it and rub it with your hand.
Can we use ordinary building cement?
Like normal cement mix? Definitely not. It would end up cracking and fall out. Possibly completely scratching up the glass. And would not adhere to the lead and glass for sufficient water resistance and longevity.
Is possible cement stained glass made with copper foil technique? or how can you reinforce those? Thanks :D
No need to cement foil. You can use Re-Strip to reinforce foil or steel rebar.
@@KCGlassworks 😱😱😱 I understand!thank you!!! Btw, Love your work… it is Amazing
The lead and solder were magically black in final shots. Did I miss the patina step?
You did not miss it 😊 I will be making a seperate tutorial on polishing.
Couple hours
?
I don't particularly like the idea of using a respirator . can't any other type of cement be used ?????????🤔🤔🤔🤔
Not necessarily, needs to be able to stick to glass and lead for over 50+ years to be properly waterproofed and stabilized.
