We need some 1" wide, anyone know where we can get some?
Local glass workers don't use it.

Try a dictionary.
came(2)
noun a lead rod for framing a pane in a leaded or stained-glass window.

Tempsford or Creative Glass Guild in Bristol are the only .two I could think of.
Creative list up to 20mm, but it's always worth phoning

You must have looked it up then Tim? to be honest I thought she might of mistyped 'M' instead of 'N'
So why doesn't google reveal 'came' as a lead rod?

I thought you might pop up Andy, haven't seen you around for ages!
It might do, thanks, I'll try them. When we're back from Sacrewell.

Try "lead came". Its that "H" x-section lead extrusion that holds staned glass together. And no, I didn't know that until now. Thanks Mary.

Thats all very well saying "lead came" now, but when theres an important word left out then it becomes a bit of an head scratching with the other word missing.

Honestly George, I knew exactly what Mary was asking about. And I think quite a few others also did. Often I do not understand - but this time I did!

It does seem that some authorities spell it 'kame' - might be useful in Scrabble that one ; now if you had spelt it that way Mary, everyone would have dived for the dictionaries and been informed immediately

Think of it as a quiz, or perhaps the question was crouched in the jargon that only a fellow stained glass enthusiast would understand. No timewasters if you please.

Well I did for the full definition but as a bit of a crossworder, I remembered a link between "came" and glazing although I couldn't remember the precise definition.
Admittedly a word not in terribly common parlance. ;-)

More economy of effort on my part. It would be like saying "wet water", is came mde in any other material?

Well, the okkard ones who wanted to take a rise out of me might have assumed that I had misspelled kamP or kaLe or .,.. well you get the picture I'm sure. There's always one - and it's often me :-)
To those who I puzzled I apologise. I've been brought up with the word, god daughter of a proper plumber and glazier who let me do things in his workshop from about six years old. But I didn't know what pargetting was for many years - we all have different experiences.
As for Scrabble, you'd have to be using the appropriate authority ... I always win anyway so nobody in the family will play with me :-)

Don't worry about confusion - "lead" is capable of providing its own misreading. :-) "Lead came" sounds like something to do with going for a walk with a dog - and the lead came too.
