Box Hinge - Brass inner and outer tube, 5 pack
Stained Glass Box Hinge - Brass inner and outer tube, 5 pack
- Outer Tube is 3/32" inside diameter
- Inner Tube is 1/16" outside diameter
- Used for creating stained glass box hinges.
- Also used for making fused glass props.
For fused glass:
I flatten about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch depending on the size of the fused art I desire to attach it to.
I rough up the glass area that is to have the tube connected to and I rough up the brass that is to be glued.
I then glue using E6000. If you buy small tubes of E6000 that is the best. The glue usually gets used up prior to turning into a tube of hard rubber.
E6000 is toxic. Do read the information on the tube. I used a magnifying glass to read it. xo
Apply the glue to the roughed up glass area then rest the flattened/roughed up area of the tub onto the glass. Let it dry in a well ventilated area - not in your home due to not wanting to breath the fumes while it dry's. Be sure to allow 24 hours for drying time. I use prop up things to keep the tube where I want it on the glass. Wadded up aluminum foil works well..
Good Box Hinge Tip:When making smaller boxes I use the inner tube then use a brass wire.
I tin/strengthen the wire by putting my plier on it and running it down the sides of it a couple of times to make it more firm.
Also, I bang it with my tinning/strengthening blocks.
