How to use a Glastar hand foiler

[@PKeefe]

This is my favorite foiler too. If not, I use my hands. It does come in the sizes of foil width.

Very informative video. I love videos that get to the point and cover all aspects. Thank you!

[@thesaladczar]

Thank you. This was very helpful.

Excellent Instruction. I have just started stained glass and all these tips really really help. Many thanks!

[@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks]

Glad they help. Feel free to reach out anytime 😊

[@JoeyArispe]

That's interesting! Might have to try one

[@heatheranderson2552]

How can you buy one? Tried Etsy, and Amazon without luck

Hello. Is the groove at the back the same width as the glass as the foiler I have has a large groove meaning the glass isn’t centred?

[@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks]

They make different thicknesses for the different foil widths

I am also very interested in seeing if you know what all the odd shapes at the end of your roller are used for, have been trying to find more info on that.

[@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks]

Are you referring to the foil roller? The point allows you to get into tight inside curves and textured glass

I didn’t see how you load it from your video. Did I mess something. You said you would show us later but my video didn’t show it.

It's a separate video. Here's the link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iqGron-tndyLZ80

Thank you for your videos! They've helped so much! However, I'm having trouble with the paper getting pulled into the long channel below the tape and then getting caught under the tape on my glass piece. What am I doing wrong?

[@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks]

Depending on the brand of foil, you may have to "babysit" it as it seperates. I had problems with the paper backing on venture vs the more plasticky of edco. I prefer edco

[@CreateGoodFX]

​@@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks Thank you for the quick reply! I was wondering about that. I'm using Studio Pro and the paper is very thick. I'll babysit it for now and next time get the Edco. Thanks!

What is that small roller you used to burnish the foil after using the foiler ? Have not see one of those before. I have been using my finger and then burnishing the side with a small wood brush handle. Do you sell them ?

[@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks]

Foil rooler- yes I sell them on my etsy site Theglassflowercart.etsy.com

[@jessicaschubach4174]

Can I ask where you purchased this amazing tool?

[@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks]

It was made by Glastar, but they had a warehouse fire last year and lost everything. The last I heard they were not going to reopen. Which basically means they are extinct - so watch for local marketplace listings for people selling their old stuff.

您好，请问这个工具哪里可以购买呢？

[@marysue6951]

Where can I purchase a hand foiler?

[@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks]

The glastar factory burned down last fall and they lost sell of their inventory so they are no longer made. I don't believe they are planning to rebuild at this point.

[@marysue6951]

@@SandyKJohnsonGlassworks that's so sad. Guess I'll have to keep my eyes open. Thanks. Love your videos.

I couldn't see what your doing most of the time is it just me or is your camera needing adjustment
