"Hi. We're talking about our tools and the process of making our Foiled Glass Sun Catcher. We are making a butterfly. This is not one of our pieces, but it's our demonstration piece for right now.

I'm kind of old fashioned in this. They have a lot more of these that you can use, which we'll get into later. But what this does, in the burnishing process is as you put your copper foil onto your glass, you would use this to cause the copper foil to adhere in a nice uniform way as such. Once you finish an edge, you would smooth it out and that is what this tool is used for. To burnish your glass."
