Venture makes the most widely accepted foil for stained glass. The copper alloy has high tensile strength with a soft temper.
This makes for a superior foil, easy to work with and unmatched
in the art glass market MASTERFOIL
is made in the USA. Do not confuse this superior quality foil with other inferior quality foils made in China. Other
brands try to pass themselves off as American Made, however many of these
offshore brands have roughly HALF the thickness as Venture's 1.5 mil
foils making for greater frustration when foiling and greatly reduced
strength of the finished product.
Venture uses an extra thick, heat resistant adhesive providing
"quick stick"
initial tack and greater bonding power. MasterFoil is made in
three thicknesses:
-
1.5
MIL FOIL is the most popular thickness in the US. If you use a foiling machine or hand foiler, use 1.5 mil foil
for best results. The preferred foil for lampshade work.
Comes on a roll with red core.
-
1.25 and 1.0 MIL
FOILS are thinner and fold over the edge easier. Thinner foil is often easier for beginners.
1.25 mil foil comes on roll with orange core, 1.0 mil foil
rolls have purple cores.
VENTURE
SPECIALTY FOIL includes colored foils, New Wave foil and
copper foil sheets. Color-backed
foil was developed to overcome the copper edge that shows from the back
side of your work when using clear glass or mirror.
-
BLACK BACKED FOIL
is used when you use black patina
SILVER BACKED FOIL is used
when you leave the solder silver. -
SILVERED FOIL is silver on BOTH sides.
Use on projects that would require to only tin exposed foil,
such as box lids, suncatchers or kaleidoscope wheels. Saves you the time of tinning.
This foil has a coating of tin (NO LEAD) on both the outside and
inside surfaces.
