Do you use two pieces of acrylic or acetate on either side of the wire? Or does the varnish create the clear film itself? Not sure my question is very understandable.

yes Selkie the varnish creates the film itself, it is like glue so holds everything together and when dry it is clear and after you remove it from the foil it looks like real old leaded window glass... after some days you can touch it and it stays like that it looks good and it holds ... just make sure you use a good varnish, I used one that is available for high quality paintings ect. I ordered it at a place where they sell all kind of artist-colors and stuff.

ps. important... use varnish that is "high-quality", durable and uv-resistent
