Thanks for the comments.
No - I'm using copper foil, but after foiling the glass pieces are
soldered together and a solder bead is added where the pieces join.

The idea is to patinate the solder back to copper.

I don't know Windex - what is that ? (I'm based in the UK - maybe it's
a product that's not available over here..?)
