"Hi. Okay again. We're breaking down our materials here and I wanted to show you what copper foil is. It's actually a copper that has an adhesive backing on it that you will adhere to your glass as you're working with it. This enables you to be able to apply sauter to your pieces of glass in your art projects to help them adhere together. And that's where you will get your finished product. It comes with a paper backing on it that you'll just discard after you use the part that you're going to use. Just to give you a brief demonstration before we get into this, it goes on the edges of your glass. Now of course this glass has not been prepared yet. You're going to be grinding it and getting it ready and into the shape that you need for your project. But you would take the edge of your copper foiling, and stick it at the end of your glass and run it down the length of your piece. Which I'm not going to do on this one because it's just one of our pieces still. Like that."
