Thank you so much for this series of videos. I just started stain glass today and your videos were extremely helpful especially with all the tips. I'd say, watching the very end (which I only watched after finishing my piece) that the sodering has definitely been my least favorite part lol
I enjoyed the video I am a newbie. I would like to start out right, therefore can you tell me which model or type hakko iron you use or what is the best. Is it good to buy one that has adjustable temp setting. At this time, I just want to foil and solder my seaglass to make window suncatchers. Also, if I start to make pendant for jewelry is the solder used different for copperfoil and silver foil? Thank you in advance
Alicia, so glad you enjoyed the video! We recommend the Hakko FX-601 which has a built in rheostat . When you start working to make pendants, you might wish to use Silvergleam solder made by Canfield Technoligies. From their website they state: "Silvergleem solder is a distinctive silver solder that adds a rich luxurious finish to all your jewelry pieces and stained glass art. This solder is lead-free and non-toxic. It is ideal on jewelry, boxes, art pieces, dishes that hold food, or any elegant piece you are creating. This solder has “instant freeze”….it makes the perfect beaded seams or sculpted pattern seams. Leave it in its beautiful natural silver color, or buff it to a high shine, or patina it. This lead-free alloy melts and flows like 50/50 but is considerably stronger and lighter in weight. Has the strongest bond of the soft solders and resists corrosion better than the common tin/lead alloys."
Your presentation style is so organized and methodical! I really appreciate your sharing your expertise. Thank you.
