@@devinteske oh I loved this mask! Fit so well I’d forget it was on. But then the company wouldn’t give me any documentation for efficacy for zinc chloride & ammonium chloride (the fluxes we use). I had to switch to a less comfortable 3M😭errrgh.

@@devinteske aw thank you!!! 🥰 Yay!! Sound effect makers of the world unite! Zschwoom! (That was all of us morphing towards each other in union)😁

Yay! 🥰Glad ya liked it. I made sure to put the words on the screen so you can hit the mute if the music isn't your thang (it's not my favorite ever either...limited options on here).

Yay! Thank you!🥰

Oh no! I have a couple of ideas. If ya forgot about it for a week and it dried on the whole piece all crusty, then in small test spots on the back: I'd put a cloth with warm water for a bit and see if it remoisturizes it. Or, put a bit of polish on again, let it there for a few minutes and see if it gets the undercoating uncrusty. If all else fails, you can use 0000 brass wool. It will dull the solder a bit cuz it puts some micro-scratches in it, but if you plan to patina, you won't notice that. If it's just some crusty leftover spots in the corners on the glass, then you can scrape it off with an X-acto knife. Lemme know how it goes!

Yup it works on lead free too. It's Novacan Copper. i have it here in my shop if ya need some: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/product/novacan-super-brite-copper-patina/

Ah never mind sapphire had lead. Whoppsy

Hehe! Thank you!! Lead free is definitely a bit harder to work with than lead, but totally doable. The keys are to run hotter and faster (with any of them). I have a blog post all about lead free if you're interested here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/all-about-using-lead-free-solder-for-stained-glass/ Of course, feel free to ask me any questions ya got here too!

Yay!! I keep mine at the same temp, but I do solder really fast. Do you tin the edge, the front, & the back first before you start edge beading?

Right?! It’s my new bff.😁

Yay! Anytime! It is the most fun fid😁

😁Yay!

@@mountainwomanproducts Well, I did actually glean some useful info from your video, so thank you. I did particularly enjoy the sound effects, however I was a bit miffed when near the end you say how important it is to tighten the set screw - I was hoping to hear some sort of whizzzzzing sound as it flew off the grinder, through the air, across the room and hit the cat! Sorry, couldn't help myself 😋💖

@@stixstudios3380 🤣🤣Sorry 'bout that. Zhhhhwiiiing! Fwwwwaaaaabapp! Meeeooeeeeesqqqqqueewwwwwerz! Also, Fwap Fwap Fwap (kitting retaliating).

@@mountainwomanproducts Thank you.

Aw thanks! 🥰It didn't happen overnight. Lotsa technique & practice. My personal fav is Canfield Blue Glass Liquid. I have a video comparing different fluxes here if ya wanna check it out: ruclips.net/video/CwHZjlYgaDI/видео.htmlsi=9BkhI4vCeoTee9HJ

😀Yaaaaaaay! Agreed. Still my least fav step of the process, but less bad!🥰

I'd recommend brass because they're stronger. There's a link to the ones I use on My Favorite Tools & Supplies page here (scroll down to Extra Tools, Jigs & Other Fun Stuff): www.mountainwomanproducts.com/stained-glass-tools-my-favorites/

Hehehe! Thanks! I'm pretty sure it won't work if you don't make the noise.😂

Aw thanks!😄 And yay! Let me know how it works out for ya or if you still have trouble.

Eeek! I'm so sorry I missed your comment! ☹ The shiny factor of solder is going to be limited by the combination of metals used in it, but the type of polish you use and how well you scrub it can make a big difference too. You can use your dremel with a polishing head (soft floppy fabric kind) which is easier than rubbadubdubbing by hand a zillion times. But, you will have to change the polishing head out more often cuz they're little and they get shmecky pretty quickly. If you can find a solder up there that has similar components & quantities of metals to the Emerald or Ruby up there, that might help too! The Emerald is 97% tin, 3% copper. The Ruby is 97% tin, 2.75% copper, .25% silver. I like to use a one step polish & waxing combo of carnauba wax and whiting. The recipe is here if you're interested: ruclips.net/video/pFJX44WrXUA/видео.htmlsi=NgMD7lczIJxcxq_W

Yuppers! It can be a couple of things. Is your foil old/oxidized/dirty? Are you using enough flux? And, are you keeping a separate container to dump just a lil flux in to use for each soldering session or are you dipping into the flux bottle? Lemme know and we'll iron it (hehe! that was totally accidental but I'm claiming it) all out.😁

Yay! Thank you😀 Aren't they the freakin' best?! Love 'em.

It's my favorite! One less thing to think about. 😀I have a big ol safety page on my blog if you're interested! www.mountainwomanproducts.com/blog/

Isn't it freakin' adorable?! I love mine. It's the Creator's Hummingbird. If you decide ya want one, I have them available in my shop here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/product/creators-hummingbird-glass-cutter/ 😀

Yay! Thank you! Clamping it to the table was the big key for me. Let me know how it goes for ya.😃

😂Yay! Happy to help! If ya have any other questions or comparisons, let me know.

Yay! Thanks! Glad it was helpful🥰 Canfield Liquid Flux is my BFF, but everyone has their preferences. I have a video comparing different types of fluxes here (they all work with lead free too, which I'm using in the video): ruclips.net/video/CwHZjlYgaDI/видео.html For foil, both Edco and Stained Glass Foil brands are great! I'd stay away from cheapie random brands as they usually don't stick well & have a tendency to split around curves. If ya need any, I have all the fluxes, foils, & solders available in my shop here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/product-category/tools-supplies/

@@mountainwomanproducts thank you so much!!! :)

@@laura-annethompson7354 Anytime! I'm happy to help😀

Yay! Thanks!🥰 If you're in a small space & don't have room to keep it on your counter, then the tote is the way to go. If you have counter space to keep it there, I like a short tote or waffle grid to keep the overflow from running out on the table. I use several waffle grids connected to each other to make a 3 sided surround. You can use corrugated plastic too (the same material as those temporary signs you see in people's yards).

😂🥰 Thank ya! Thank ya very much.

😂 Sound effects...the universal language! I use brass rod 1/8". There's a link for them here if ya want: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/stained-glass-tools-my-favorites/

Yay for the shed space! *does happy dance for ya*😁 You can keep pretty much everything out there. I'd bring in the foil because of the adhesive backing (& always store it in a ziplock bag so moisture doesn't get to it). You'll want your glass warm for cutting (or it'll break funky) & soldering (heat fractures). If it's chilly in the shed, you can warm it up with a space heater or set it on a seedling or heat mat for a little bit. It doesn't need to be hot, just people temperature. Your iron may rust a lil faster because of humidity, so make sure to put some anti-sieze on the threads of the shaft so it doesn't get stuck.

@@mountainwomanproducts thank you so much for the tips!

@@megsn1581 Anytime! I'm here for questions.🥰

Aw thanks! 🥰

Good question! Yup! Ya do for any kind of solder. I cut out the fluxing to focus on the differences in the way the different solder flows. I have a video about different kinds of fluxes if ya wanna check it out 😀 ruclips.net/video/CwHZjlYgaDI/видео.html

Yup! Works just fine😃

It's the Creator's Brand Waffle Grid. It's the same as I use for my cutting surface, but I pieced them together to make the surround. I have a silicone mat underneath it as well to make sure no water ends up on my bench. There's a link for them in My Favorite Tools & Supplies Page: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/stained-glass-tools-my-favorites/

Teeeheee! (laughs like a muppet) Thank ya!🥰

Hehehe! They are....in my head😁 Thank you!

Oh no! 🙁Give Creator's a call. They have amazing customer service and I'm sure they'll help ya out.

Thank you!! It's 16 gauge tinned copper wire. If ya don't have any, I have it available on my site here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/product-category/tools-supplies/jump-rings-wire-hangers/

Sounds like either your wrench or your set screw are rounded out (most likely the allen wrench...they're only made for temporary use since ya get a new one with every bit, so generally not super high quality metal). If you're using a new Gryphon Brand bit, you can get a 3/32" allen wrench from the hardware store or amazon. If you're using the original Gryphon Brand bit that came with your grinder (not a replacement bit), then you need a 5/64" allen wrench. The wrenches usually come in a set of a bunch of sizes. Let me know if you have any other troubles😃

The wrench used with the bit that came with your grinder and the wrench that comes with separately purchased bits are usually different, this is the case with Gryphon grinders and bits.

Yuppers! The bit that came with the grinder takes a 5/64" and replacements bits take a 3/32". @@matthewwolfe6848

Yay! Thank you!💕

Anytime!😃

The 3M 6502 with 69024 filters linked on my Safety Page www.mountainwomanproducts.com/safety-gear-for-stained-glass/ They're the filters that are specifically recommended by them for zinc chloride & ammonium chloride in the most common of stained glass fluxes. Just double check the SDS sheet on whichever brand flux you use to be sure. 😃

Yay! Thanks! Anytime. Let me know if ya have any other stained glass questions. I'm happy to help.😀

Thanks! You can ask me anything...always happy to share info!😃 It's a silicone dog food mat! I have it linked on My Favorite Tools & Supplies page under the heading "soldering" here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/stained-glass-tools-my-favorites/

It's on the books, but til I make it, here's a synopsis: Ideally, you want to run it straight up a solder line on the back of your piece. You can also can bury it between two pieces of glass in a solder line. You just don't want to attach your stake to an edge bead only as it will pull off and boom crash!😵

😂 Yup! That exactly. Thank ya!🥰

I usually use 16 gauge zinc coated steel wire (cuz it's stronger than copper). If I'm doing a hanger for an ornament, then I'll use 16 gauge pre-tinned copper wire or 14 gauge for a hand sized suncatcher. They're all listed on My Favorite Tools & Supplies page here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/stained-glass-tools-my-favorites/. 😀

You're welcome! Anytime. 😀 I haven't tried the Canfield Pewter.

Yay! Glad to see you too! If you have stained glass questions, let me know! I'm happy to help.😀 I have Beginner Kits on my site here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/product-category/tools-supplies/

Thank you!!😀💕

What a great idea if your eyes aren't so good! 😀
