This is an abridged version of the article in 'Glass on Metal' referred to by Dennis Davis.

The equipment required is:

• a l/16"stainless steel welding rod (the mandrel);

• a propane torch (the kind with a replaceable cylinder, available at any DIY store); (Dennis Davies uses a butane one.)

• ⅛” copper tubing;

• mandrel release sludge {Dennis Davis suggests this)

• enamel flux;

• lump enamel;

• a knife to push the hot bead off the welding rod;

• a small container of water to cool the knife and the end of the welding rod;

• a place to put the hot bead - he used a metal pie tin.
