SHIPPING SLAG LAMPS/SHADES:
Ship the entire shade or ship only an unbroken glass panel to be used as a template.
Caution - Self installing glass panels is very tricky due to handcrafted variations in the glass and the frame.
Also glass holder tabs may break off during install and require replacing.
We are happy to help any way.
PREP WORK:
APPLY MASKING TAPE (not clear) on inside joints of slag shades to secure adjoining glass panels.
Fill the inside cavity of glass shades to over flowing with soft packing material.
Over Flowing: Packing material should extend at least 3-4" beyond the shade bottom.
Over filling the shade cavity spreads the weight evenly over the entire shade.
Use a trash bag and masking tape to hold the over flowing packing in place against the shade.
USE MASKING TAPE ONLY to secure these packing materials NOT CLEAR TAPE.
USE CLEAR TAPE ONLY ON OUTSIDE of BOX.
