Church glass splicing commonly used materials mainly include the following:
1. stained glass
Stained glass with inorganic pigments: This is the most important material in church glass splicing. Stained glass is formed by adding oxides (such as copper, cobalt, gold, etc.) to the semi-melted glass to form different colors, and then heated to melt the pigment into the glass, leaving the eternal color.
Opalescent glass: A glass with a special luster, often used to express soft or mysterious light and shadow effects, such as angel clothing.
2. connection and fixing material
Lead wire or copper wire: as a frame material, used to assemble glass blocks of different colors together. Lead wire is widely used because of its softness and ease of processing, but copper wire may also be used as a substitute in modern production.
Solder: Used to fix the assembled glass block and the frame together to enhance the firmness and sealing of the overall structure.
Lead strip: Similar to lead wire, but usually used in larger splicing projects as a connecting and fixing structure between glass blocks.
3. auxiliary materials
Black putty: used to seal the gap between the glass blocks to prevent rainwater penetration.
Calcium chloride powder: As an abrasive, it is used to polish the glass surface to make it smoother and smoother.
4. other materials
Glass mosaic: Decorative glass made of small pieces of colored glass, often used in the decoration of church walls, ceilings and other parts. This material not only enriches the visual effect of the church, but also creates a more three-dimensional and vivid visual effect because of its independent adjustment of position and angle.
In summary, church glass splicing is a complex and delicate process that requires the use of multiple materials and techniques to ensure the beauty and durability of the final work.
