Using wood pieces...

Hi folks,
I plan on using some wood pieces (cut to the same thickness as glass)
mixed in with regular glass pieces in some panels. Any ideas about
whatever I can put on the wood so they'll stay untouched while
cleaning and puttying. Something I can peel off when it's finished,
maybe Mactac, some goopy stuff or whatever?

A thick coating of silicone based furniture polish will repel most stuff.
I assume this is an indoor only piece for keeping in a dry place?

A more interesting question is how you are going to deal with the burn
marks on the wood from the soldering heat

what you could do is...cover each piece of wood (front and back) with
clear contact paper. Then after your puttying is all complete, just
trim around the lead and remove the contact paper. I've done this when
using extemely textured glass.

Yes it is. Hopefully, whatever method would also keep the wood
untouched by electroplating. Probably hoping a little too much here
eh...

Uh yup, electroplating generally starts with a cleanning bath of Sodium
Hydroxide, followed by a strike plate of Cyanide Copper, getting the picture
here? Key words, Bath and Cyanide, (Arsenic was used in Wolmanized wood,
don't know what Cyanide wood is, except poisonus, wouldn't want the dried
salts in anything sitting around my house.

You probably already do. I was suprised when I read the tag on pressure
treated lumber. Arsenic.

As he's wanting to do this project in lead, I see no problems with any
burning of the wood as the solder joints are quite small. Contact
paper actually holds up quite well under heat from a soldering iron.
many of the stained glass mirrors that i used to make all had Contact
paper on the back and they were done in copper foil. the contact paper
held up surprisingly well. so i see no problems with him burning the
wood.

You don't have any in your house do you?

Cyanide? Much more dangerous than Arsenic.

Actually, I do. Got a nice little 4 by 4 block I keep in the workroom for
drilling on.

Was just pointing out how surprised I was that it was in pressure treated
lumber. No need to pick nits.
