I have built a stained glass window to fit in a transom above a front door. The house is a Victorian shotgun style in Louisville, KY.
A window this long and narrow needs reinforcement in several places. I used my rebar bender to curve zinc rebar to fit the design, and then soldered the rebar to the lead in several places. I am caulking around the lead lines using Dap window glazing compound, and then cleaning the surface with whiting to remove left over caulking. I will let the window sit overnight until the caulking hardens, and then I will take a sharpened stick and remove any overflow extending past the edges of the lead.
