Box Hinge - Brass inner and outer tube, 5 pack

Stained Glass Box Hinge - Brass inner and outer tube, 5 pack

• Outer Tube is 3/32" inside diameter
  
• Inner Tube is 1/16" outside diameter
• Used for creating stained glass box hinges.
• Also used for making fused glass props.

For fused glass:

I flatten about 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch depending on the size of the fused art I desire to attach it to.

I rough up the glass area that is to have the tube connected to and I rough up the brass that is to be glued.

I then glue using E6000.  If you buy small tubes of E6000 that is the best.  The glue usually gets used up prior to turning into a tube of hard rubber.

E6000 is toxic.  Do read the information on the tube.  I used a magnifying glass to read it.  xo

Apply the glue to the roughed up glass area then rest the flattened/roughed up area of the tub onto the glass.  Let it dry in a well ventilated area - not in your home due to not wanting to breath the fumes while it dry's.  Be sure to allow 24 hours for drying time.  I use prop up things to keep the tube where I want it on the glass.  Wadded up aluminum foil works well..

Good Box Hinge Tip:
When making smaller boxes I use the inner tube then use a brass wire.
I tin/strengthen the wire by putting my plier on it and running it down the sides of it a couple of times to make it more firm.
Also, I bang it with my tinning/strengthening blocks.
