make your own cement for
leaded
stained glass panels.

a real tried and true stained
glass cement with the quality you want at a price that
works. |
i used inland
cement*
when
it first came out, way back when. it is a very good and simple to use product
that results in strong stained glass panels with a nice lead patina. back
in 1991, i decided to create a similar quality product myself. after
tweaking with ingredients, i found what i believe to be a very comparable product.
low cost and easy to make, i have been using it problem free for many years.
be wary of the
cement recipes found on the internet that add plaster and/or whiting to
their mix. i
have tried using these ingredients in my cement before, but they would randomly leach out after a time in the form of a thick dust
that appeared around the lead. this dust would brush away easy enough, but
became a nuisance having to dismantle an installation periodically
to re-clean when the dust returned.
the benefits of my cement:
•
a dramatic
decrease in cost. as you well know, the cost of pre-mixed cement is out
of sight at about $50 per gallon. add on the 15 pound shipping/hazard
cost and
you could be paying around $60 or more. cha-ching! the cost to make my cement
is
less than
$10
per gallon.
•
no more running out of cement and having to wait for the new cement order
to arrive. the readily available ingredients for my cement are easily stored
and on hand to make fresh cement whenever you need it. your local big hardware
stores carry the ingredients. make as much or as
little as you need. you no longer have to buy
many little tubs or deal with big awkward cans.
•
no more worries if your cement gets hard from non-use. it's cheap enough to
make more.
•
no more of that messy spillage you get from
trying to remix the pre-made cement that
sometimes sits at the bottom of the can like a
rock during shipping or standing.
what's the catch?
i offer the recipe to you for
about 80% less then the cost of buying
just one more gallon of ready-made
cement and even less than the price of the 1 pound pre-mix tub with shipping.
but wait, there's more! what good is a
recipe without complete and detailed instructions
on
the mixing, coloration, application, and
storage of this
cement? follow the steps to perfectly clean and
well cemented stained glass panels, done easily
and inexpensively.
so now how much would you
pay?
for
only $9, i will e-mail the
recipe and everything you need to know about this cement.

the
inland
company produces a quality line
of products for the stained glass industry. i am not duplicating their fine cement product,
as i have no idea the actual recipe they use. however, my stuff works in much the
same manner with similar results.
