Lead also has to be stretched as I remember from dabbling in stained glass many
years ago.

... glass is always a little bit liquid. Very old windows are slightly wider at
the bottom than the top because the glass continues to flow over the years...
Karon, this is an old urban legend.
Glass does not flow at all !
Look f..i. at http://www.glassnotes.com/WindowPanes.html
Ciao.
Another possible explanation could be that antique glass panes were always hand
rolled and had highly uneven thicknesses within the same sheets. Nowadays,
most glass is “float” glass and has a uniform thickness.

Interesting. I had read it did. I am far from an expert on glass so I’ll take
your word for it. good info.
