Glass treatment

Glass as we know it does not demand special treatment. Only little attention is needed in order to survive nodes of all time.

Making stained glass is not an easy job. Hand job requires high precision and skill for the resulting glass can be neat and beautiful. So no wonder, the price offered by the stained glass crafts persons quite high because of the difficulty of the manufacturing process.

To install the stained glass at the desired place, preferably coated with plain glass for strength to resist the load, as well as insulation material in the room.
Another advantage is the ease in maintaining the glass, because the dust on the sidelines between the solder material and because the glass is difficult to clean.

Solder materials are made of brass and zinc should use plain glass on both sides for air tight to prevent porous. While the stained glass made from tin can be paired plain glass on one side just because of the strength that is more porous and not easily.

Clean the stained glass

To clean stained glass equipment required is a cotton cloth, silicon glue, pick or other sharp objects like knives or cutter, soap and clean water.

First clean with soap and water until frothy, then dip the cloth. Clean the stained glass you want to clean with soapy water, rub until frothy, rinse, and dry with a dry cloth.

To clean the black stains are commonly found on the edges of the sidelines of the glass, use a similar sharp objects. But in cleaning should be careful and painstaking, pressing too hard will makes the surface of sharp objects will scratch the top layer of stained glass. If this is not another, the glass can not be repaired and must be replaced with new ones.

When cleaning, maybe you will see the cavity, caused by her swollen part of retaining the glass. No need to worry, it is common and often occur within every three to six months. To fix the glass so you do not loose and wobbling, dabs of silicone glue to seal the cavity in question. This should be done routinely every time period mentioned above, because usually the glue that has long will fade.

To clean the rough side and smooth on the glass is not much different, but you will know that cleaning up the rough part will be easier to remember this section is rarely exposed to dust
