EDCO 3/16-Inch Silver-Backed Copper Foil
A narrow silver-backed foil for transparent work that will keep a bright solder or silver-toned finish.
Silver backing is most useful where the adhesive side can be seen through clear glass and the finished seam will remain bright. It keeps that visible line closer to the colour of solder than copper or black backing.
Reasons to choose it
- Clear glass with a silver finished seam
- 3/16 in width
- Silver backing
Consider before buying
- Coordinate backing with the final finish
- Check width against glass thickness
- Use black-backed foil with black patina or copper-backed foil when the finished project will keep a copper appearance.

What ownership is actually like
Prepare the edge carefully, centre the foil and burnish every corner. Store the roll away from heat, dust and moisture.
Who it suits
This is a strong shortlist candidate for clear glass with a silver finished seam. The useful question is whether that describes most of your work, not merely one future project.
When another tool makes more sense
Use black-backed foil with black patina or copper-backed foil when the finished project will keep a copper appearance.
