    There's only one thing wrong with this video - I can't blame my wonky soldering on a cheaper iron, ha! Just need to keep practising :)

    That's very interesting, I would expect the 60 watt would perhaps not stand up to hours of soldering but for someone starting out and not wanting to invest in pro tools, then as the label says "light" soldering gives really good results. Really impressed. Hakko just seem to make the best, at every price point. Thanks!

    I used a cheaper one for years and it was fine for electrical work but picking up a Hakko 601 made stained glass work a breeze!

    Great video! I have been using a $15.00ish iron for a while now and I have gotten pretty good at using it. Because you can't control the heat, you will need to replace the top more often. Also, remember to check to make sure to tighten the tip every now and then. It does tend to loosen up.

    Thanks,this is a big help. I was given the 503 and because the package didn't have check under 'stained glass' use,figured it wouldn't work as well. In my research the 601 was recommended for larger projects,since you can raise the temp and the solder will flow faster.
    I'm only doing small projects and its great to see I can get good results with the one-temperature 503.😁
    Perfect timing for this comparison!

    The Hakko 503 has an operating range of 860 degrees F to 903 degrees F or 460 C to 485 C at 120 volts. Generally 60 watt non-temp controlled irons operate at 850 degrees F.

    The 503 is what came in your diy beginners box that I got. I haven't had any major issues with it other than if you go for a longer period of time it seems to get way too hot. It gets difficult to control the solder and gets a bit messy.

    • @StainedGlassDIY
      @StainedGlassDIY  3 года назад

      You're right there isn't a sensor to control the heat so you have to move quickly. Better to come back and fix the solder lines when things cool down a bit.

    Once again, very interesting video! I've been interested into starting stained glass and been watching your vids since a little while now, it's so helpful, thank you so much!
    I was wondering if you'd make a video abt lead free solder ? Because, while searching more infos abt stained glass, I've been seeing few articles saying that lead can be quite dangerous ..? With the smoke who will get on your clothes and such, but I don't really find videos that demonstrates the use of lead free solder, all I know is that you need to use more heat but in that case should we use a specific iron or tip ? And if the whole process remains the same, like same copper foil/flux/patina/finishing.. I'm having a little bit of a hard time to find good/detailed articles or vids.
    Or if anyone reading this can link me to a detailed video or blog I'd really appreciate it!

      people have worked with lead and glass for centuries. No problem. just keep your face out of the smoke.

      @@markwitte303 Thanks! I just kept reading articles speaking abt lead being very dangerous so I got a bit worried but seems like as long as you're doing it in a ventilate area with the smoke flying away/opposite of your face, it should be fine.
      But still interested to see how lead free solder is working as it's apparently the best to pick it if you want to make jewelries with stained glass since it's in contact with the skin.
      But thanks again for your answer!
