Edco 3/16 Black Backed Copper Foil

I do believe this is one of the most reliable brands when it comes to copper foil. They are highly recommended by stained glass enthusiasts. I like the thickness. Also, it should be noted that the black backed copper foil tends to be more adhesive than the others.

Love this foil, the adhesive and thickness easily beat the other foils I've used. Plus the black backing looks really clean and nice compared to white. I freehand my designs and I wind up with some very small and funky shapes so I really like the skinny 3/16ths width as it prevents smaller pieces from being covered by solder. Just work slowly to ensure you have coverage on both faces of the glass. I also use a wider width around the outside of my piece to give it more strength (I don't love working with came so I solder a wider frame instead). Great foil, never moves once it's burnished unless I really want to take it off, easy to place where I want it since it's thicker and therefore more firm and gives more control, hardly creases (actually doesn't crease at all unless I mess up which makes fitting pieces together easier). The only con in my mind is that it can be a little stringy, with a little bit of clutter around the edges which seems so be extra copper that gets sticky but isn't part of the main strip, but I just scrape that off with my fingernail and it isn't a big deal. Here ordering more and thought I'd leave a review as I really enjoy this product.

This is one on the standard products in the stained glass field. Good quality, good adhesive, resists heat, takes patina well.

The best foil on the market hands down!

I was too impatient to wait for a replacement. The tape is great, perfect width and very tacky. Sadly the loom the tape was on was broken when it arrived. The broken loom makes it harder to work with.

Great foil! Excellent adhesive but still able to peel back and readjust. I wanted a thinner width than 7/32 and this is perfect. Highly recommend!

I’ve had great success using Edco copper foil on my stained glass projects. I like that it comes in the sizes and backing colors that I need. It sticks well and stays on, and comes at a fair price.

Easy to wrap on grass. Holds solder well. Cleans up great

I have used the Edco brand for many years and it’s always been very satisfactory. Disorder was no different. I did use another brand recently just to see how it worked and it wasn’t as good. So I will go back to Edco.

The product will not stick in the glass. It does not matter what I do it won’t stick
