Hand Foiler Instructions:
Remove all oil from glass and grind it so that the foil will stick.
Insert foil into opposite end of Roller through the slot. After inserting into the slot, peel back foil approximately 3″ inches from the paper. Remove 1″ of the paper backing and back through until the paper is showing on the other side of the slot. Then proceed to pull the foil up to the other end towards the Roller. Guide foil underneath the roller. Now the paper backing should easily separate when you begin to foil your glass.
Grasp the foiler leaving thumb free. Insert edge of glass piece between guides on the underside of the tool.
It is important to hold the foiler stationary while rotating the piece of glass. KEEP ROLLER PRESSED AGAINST EDGE OF GLASS WITH EVEN PRESSURE DURING ENTIRE APPLICATION.
Tips: You can mount your foiler to a table edge using a c-clamp. This allows you to be hands free from holding the foiler.

Foiling is not my favorite part of the stained glass process. However this tool made it a breeze! I was able to foil 95 pieces of glass with this tool the day I got it.
