Bevelled Stain Glass
"In order to make the stain-glass-panel resilient and waterproof, I brush in lead clay cement in the lead framework. I work the mixture into all the lead channels using a stiff brush.
Once it dries, I remove the subsequent excess and when the lead clay cement has completely hardened, I pick out the fine excess with a fine tool and then polish it with grate lead black polish.
This technique consolidates the stained glass panel and also eliminates any movement or rattles.
Finally, I wash it before I place it on the window . " ~Tomitheos
