Lead Strips, or "Came", the traditional material used in stained glass window construction. The cross sections shown are the most commonly used sizes.  The fractional dimension indicates the size across the face, or exposed surface.  All the lead channels will accomodate standard thickness stained glass.

Reinforcing Bar. Zinc coated steel bar 1/8" thick, used to reinforce large windows to minimize sagging or bowing over time. The bars are placed on edge and soldered hwre they make contact with the leading.

Zinc Came. Much stronger and more rigid than lead came. It may be used with, or in addition to lead came, when you need to make a window structurally very stable. It is an especially good border material, but the 'H' channels can be used for internal bracing as well.

Brass Came. Structurally the same as zinc came, but adds an attractive brass border to any stained glass panel. It is available in the same 'U' channel as zinc.  Use a gold marker pen to touch up your solder joints.
