How to "patina" a zinc frame on a lead came stained glass panel using Super Blue. Super Blue is made by Birchwood Casey; I purchased it from Amazon (Birchwood Casey E & F Super Blue Liquid Gun Blue 90 Ml), but just google "Super Blue Liquid" and you can find it at many places.

This video show how to braid lead came using a drill to create a decorative edge for a stained glass piece. This video also shows how to solder the decorative edge to the stained glass piece. This step is done after the stained glass piece has been soldered and puttied, and prior to applying a patina. Decorative edges are a nice touch especially for round windows.

Flipping over a large stained glass window to work on the other side. In this video, the window has already been soldered on both sides, and puttied. I am flipping it over to inspect it, and do some fine cleaning. The key to flipping a window over (if your studio is small and you don't have a lot of resources!) is "sliding" the window off a level surface, keeping the window vertical at all times . If you simply pick up the window and try and flip it horizontally, it can break and crack under the strain of gravity.
