Caring for your Stained Glass
|
|
We make a cardboard box for each piece of stained glass that is the rough
size of the artwork. When you get home, you may wish to cut all of the
tape so that it opens easily.
Most importantly is making sure that the piece is hung in a way that it will
not fall. We recommend using an eye hook screwed into the top of the
window frame. Use a piece of strong fishing line to secure the piece and a
suction cup to keep it flat against the window. Our advice is "NEVER
TRUST THE SUCTION CUP!"
With time, the piece may become dusty - take it down and gently clean
with a low-lint towel or an old t-shirt. Use an old toothbrush to remove
any white residue. After dusting, you can shine the glass, by buffing it with
a little caranuba wax (like Turtle Wax). We wax each piece after completing
it and making the box.
It is best not to let the pieces get wet. DO NOT USE GLASS CLEANER!!
The metals will oxidize and you will need to clean and wax it more often.
