When using glass that
you can see through, choose a foil with the same color backing as the patina
you intend to use. Example: Black Back for Black
Patina.

Foil comes in different
thickness. 1 mil is good for inside curves because it folds easily.
1.5 mil is good for raw non smoothed edges. It’s harder to tear, so it
holds up to sharp edges better. 1.25 mil is a good foil for everyday
use. We sell 1.5 mil foil unless otherwise noted. |
|
Burnish your foil down
tightly, leaving no air bubbles. This prevents flux from seeping under the
foil.

|
If you have to put a project
away when it’s partially foiled, tape a small piece of foil to it so you
use the same size later. Cover your project to prevent oxidation.. |
|
Store opened copper foil in a
zipper bag to help prevent oxidation.
