<p>made it</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>Foil splits are a defect from the foil stage that will affect the soldering stage due to solder only sticking to foil and not glass.<br /> <br /> These can typically be seen on tight curves or other complicated geometry because the foil can only stretch so much before tearing. Thus leaving you with small &lt; shaped gaps.<br /> <br /> === Prevention ===<br /> Preventing these splits greatly depends on how sharp the angle or curve is. Gentle curves likely won&#039;t need any extra preparation while sharper ones will.<br /> <br /> ===== Sharp Curves =====<br /> With sharp curves you will need to use [[Foil Saddle|Foil Saddles]] to cover the hole created as it&#039;s not possible to stretch the foil enough any other way.<br /> <br /> ===== Gentle Curves =====<br /> Gentle curves give you a much easier time. You can still do [[Foil Saddle|Foil Saddles]] if that&#039;s what you prefer, but you can also roll the foil over gently.<br /> {{Todo|todo=Explain roll over better, add images/video}}<br /> [[Category:Foiling]]<br /> [[Category:Foiling Tips]]<br /> [[Category:Foil Repair]]</div>
