CASCADE starts with 100% pure lead to which they add exacting quantities of Tin, Antimony, Copper and Bismuth to create a lead that is stretchable to the breaking point yet maintains a fine grain strength and also prevents oxidation making it easier to solder, allows for a longer shelf life and gives you a brighter finish

We stock Cascade's #2 Alloy which is made to add a bit more strength and stiffness as opposed to pure lead. In addition, smaller profiles are also stocked in their BRITE ALLOY with about 4% added Antimony giving it a brighter finish and stiffness, which adds strength to smaller creations.

Ordering Lead Came:

Lead Came is sold in individual six foot lengths, and in bulk as (depending on size and cross section) 15 lb spools or 45lb boxes.
Shipping Requirements
Smaller cross section cames, such as 3/16" Round H or 1/8" U channels are neatly coiled for shipment at no additional charge. These styles are noted as "shipped coiled".
Larger cross section cames and all Flat H and Flat U cames are shipped straight in six foot boxes OR we can cut or fold the cames to fit a three foot box. There is an additional fee in addition to our standard shipping and handling fee to cover the added packing.
Cames to be shipped straight are noted as "shipped straight" and will require you to add for boxing. Simply click on "add for 6 ft box" or "add for 3 ft box" to add this handling fee. You only need to click ONCE per order. If you omit the handling fee, our sales department will contact you to complete your order.

Lead Came Dimensions:

The dimensions in the description of the came (ie 1/4" Flat H) refers to the FACE WIDTH of the came. The Face Width is the dimension that will appear as the dark line when the panel is finished and held to the light. The Channel Width is the dimension that will accommodate the thickness of your glass. Most glass is 1/8" thick, so 5/32" Channel Width will fit nicely. For thicker glasses, please keep a close watch on the Channel Width. Channel Depth refers to the amount of glass that will be hidden by the face of the came. MEASUREMENTS ARE GIVEN IN DECIMAL INCHES as this is the custom of the came manufacturers. CLICK HERE to see a table converting fractions of an inch into decimal inches.
