GLASTAR FOILING MACHINE
A remarkable time-saver engineered to speed up and simplify copper foiling.
Faster than hand foiling, you can apply foil to glass edges in half the
time-or less. The Glasfoiler™ accepts 3 sizes of foil: 3/16", 7/32" and
1/4"; and can dispense 2 different sizes at the same time. Made in
USA

The Glastar Foiler is easy to use. Simply thread
the foil through the separator (that automatically pulls the paper backing
from your foil) and over the top of the front wheel. Pass the edge of your
glass through the guide and roll the edge on the wheel. The foil will be
centered on your glass and partially folded over the front and back sides of
the glass. Burnish and you are done.
It takes a bit of practice, but once you get
the hang of it, you will find it faster and easier than hand foiling. |

NOTE FOR ALL FOILING TOOLS:
Be sure to use the heavier 1.25 or 1.5 mil copper foil when using foiling
machines or hand foilers. The thinner 1.0 mil foil will tend to rip or tear. |
