A table foiler is an easy way to make foiling go better and faster, with far less mistakes and starting over. It makes it easier to keep the foil centered on the glass edge. If foiling causes you any stress, this is a very smart investment.

There are several types available. One type allows you to keep your glass piece close to and parallel with the work surface and the other type of table foiler mounts next to the edge of the work area and allows you room to move the glass piece around while you are foiling. If you have access to a stained glass store or classroom, it might be good to try both to see which works best for you. Both have pluses and minuses and artists who favor one over the other.

If you plan on doing any multi-piece works, you will be glad you have a foiler at the ready. Prices on table foilers run from $40 to $80.
