Finishing Tips and Techniques

Finishing tips will help you achieve that professional look. The time and effort put in finishing your stained glass piece has a dramatic effect on the professionalism of your work. This step is often rushed or hastily done resulting in white mold along solder seams and/or cloudy appearance of glass.




White crusty areas appear after finishing?
  • Use baking soda with water then rinse and re-apply finishing compound.


How to make stained glass piece shine?
  • Use finishing compound followed by Simichrome polish.


How often do I need to clean my stained glass work?
  • Depending on location of stained glass, it's a good idea to clean your stained glass yearly. Clean with a damp cloth or finishing compound. Do not use commercial window cleaner.
