WHAT TO SHIP:
Rather than shipping the entire shade, some customers prefer to ship an unbroken glass panel as a template.
Caution - Self installing is very tricky due to variations in glass and in the frame.
Glass holder tabs can also break off and need replacing.
We are happy to help any way.

PREP WORK:
USE MASKING TAPE ONLY except on outside of boxes.
CLEAR TAPE is very difficult to remove creating risks of further damage.
Slag shades (not Tiffany): On the inside of the slag shade apply MASKING TAPE (not clear tape) between adjoining glass panels to secure them.
Fill the inside dome cavity (Slag & Tiffany shades) to over flowing with soft packing material.
Over filling the shade cavity spreads the weight evenly over the entire shade.
Use plastic bag or masking tape to hold the over flowing packing in place.
USE MASKING TAPE ONLY to secure these packing materials.
