Hand foiling tools
Hand foiling tools
Quickly and evenly applies foil to your glass pieces. The 3/16 is best used for 2mm glass and the 7/32 & 1/4 are best for 3-4mm glass.
How to use the Lucent Glass hand foiler
1. Place your copper foil through the slot at the back of the tool
2. Once your foil is through the slot, peel the paper backing off of the foil. The paper will go through the hole at the bottom of the hand foiler. Then pull the foil through the tool, sticky side down, and between the forks and roller on the other end. The paper should be falling away as you are pulling the foil through.
3. Place the glass in between the forks and start to run the foiler along the edge of the glass to apply the foil. Use a pair of scissors to cut the foil when you have finished foiling the glass.
4. Use your fingers to fold the foil over the glass then use the Lucent Glass foil burnisher to burnish the edges. Perfection!
Note: Be mindful not to twist the foiler as you are using the tool. If you twist the foil being fed through the tool it will not allow the foil to move through the hand foiler smoothly.

My order came well packaged and intact I also got some random free glass that I super appreciate! Thank you!
Just received my first glass shipment which came in two weeks to PEI, Canada (during easter holiday so I think it usually ships faster but no complaints with two weeks)! Everything came packaged very well, nothing broken and lovely glass! Bonus that I even spoke to the owner! Highly recommend
These are a must have in every workshop!
Foiling is my least favourite part of the craft. Now I don't mind foiling.
