All foil sold by Sunshine Glassworks is
all first quality, American Made product from Venture Tape (3M).
This foil will produce the finest
results.
You can find cheaper Chinese foil on
the internet, but be prepared to be frustrated!
HINT:
Venture Foils have a shelf life of over a
year. Keeping your foil in a sealed zipper plastic bag in a cool, dry
place will keep the adhesive fresh and the copper free of oxidation

SPECIAL NOTE:
Venture Foil has been discontinued by 3M.
We will be replacing Venture Foil with American Made foil as our Venture
inventory sells out.
THE FOLLOWING STYLES WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE ONCE
VENTURE IS GONE:
MASTERFOIL
is made in the USA. Do not confuse this superior quality foil with other inferior quality foils made in China. Others try to pass themselves off as American Made
with patriotic sounding names. These
offshore brands lack the thickness, quality adhesive and the conformable
alloy of Venture's foils making for frustration when foiling and 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.
=All 1.5 mil foil has been discontinued and
will no longer be available=
-
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 back 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. Not sure what foil to
use? Black Backed is the safest choice.
SILVER BACKED FOIL is used
when you leave the solder silver. -
NEW
WAVE FOIL has a scalloped edge and is used for decorative solder
beads and borders. Available
as copper and in color backed. Approx 5/16" wide at the widest point.
=All New Wave styles are discontinued and will
not be available in the future=
-
SHEET
FOIL (#0738) comes in 12x12" squares with copper or black
back. Cuts easily with a craft knife to make foil overlays, cut
custom width foil, etc. 1.25
mil thick.
ALL FOIL IS SOLD ON 36 YARD (108 FT) SPOOLS |
