Using Insulation as Table

Video Transcript

"Hi today we're talking about glass foiling projects and we are touching on our work surfaces. Now Home a iso is what I recommend as far as having a nice surface that you can work with. It?s very durable. You can use it over and over again several times with each of your projects. Home a iso is just an insulation that you can purchase at your hardware store just like this. So this is just a demonstration of this piece. It?s actually on the top of this table which is our work space today. These tacks are longer than normal tacks. You can buy them in your local glass store like this. They come in a box of one hundred and they are five eighths steel for your pointy side here. There is a specific hammer that I recommend that you use to nail your tacks in place. You can also push them in but after a while working with the glass and the nails your fingers get a little sore. Especially if you haven't done much of this before. So what you would do is you would take your piece of glass that is already prefoiled and you would take your tack and nail it in place. Or, like I said, you can push them in place, either way. The Home a iso is pretty easily penetrated by your tacks. So there you have it nice and steady. Can't move it. You place another piece in there and remember when you go to place another piece of glass up in there you would remove the one tack where you're going to adhere that piece of glass and just place your tack on the other side. This would also be foiled and you just solder them together."
