Shade holder rings!

This is a handy bit of kit! Available from Tempsford Stained glass (although it isn't on their web site!) It comes in two sizes 2.5" & 3" both with a perforated vase cap to suit.

An vase cap could be used without it but I find it is easier to make a neat soldering job with these.

The vase cap just sits on top to tidy things up!
