Gemmy Holiday Light Show Tree Not Working

Vitrail: 8th episode - End of 1st season

Today ... end of the window!

First, smoothing the overlap areas: using a mini-spatula to fully retract the seals and crush one just above. After using a kind of plastic spoon to fold the wing of lead glass. The gesture must be flexible and smoothly. We finished preparing the pellets by brushing for thorough cleaning (dust lead glop = no: (next time I'll put a mask).

Then we prepare the welds. We put the brush "fat degreaser" (yes, I swear, it works, but I have not understood the trick ...) taking care of the well to penetrate between the wings that overlap. It's funny, fat dry cleaner in the lead ( grease dries?! really not understood the trick ...). Then Yapluka welding rods with large tin. I even states that where there was no aa fat, tin HOOK not. I'm not super-proud of my welds ... but hey it is not clear. Not hot enough it sticks the wand, it burns too hot lead, tin is not quite fragile, it is too big pate, patouille is dull and brittle ... Brief must be right first time!

Finally, the last weld. Now go back the window, but then very gently. And this post is taken from the beginning ... (Unless you've already read this sentence) And oh

victory was over! ... Well almost ...

just returned, Yann has been searched the small window. And second victory in the window returns the site! 1 mm less in width and 5 mm in height. As a black tape on the edges of the glass to have no light passing around the edges.
For fixing, we opted for making small spikes on the edges of the window, folded around the edge of the window. It is.
We raced the sun to see what it looked like ... but it was he who won


Click on the images! (The blue sky is an effect of the glass is white!)

PS: for orders, no delivery expected before 2012, given the number of things I already do to;)

Re PS: Thanks for all your comments, it's nice ...
