Excellent video, I am adding it to our tutorials playlist. Very well done and clearly explained. You might mention that the 50/50 and 60/40 solder DOES contain some lead. I think most people nowadays will prefer the lead free solder.
Edge beading, I have another video called stained Glass basics that also shows how to edge bead. I'll add edge beading to a video topic for a future video!
I prefer the end of the tip when trying to solder specific areas. I lay the tip down where more of the surface area is coming in contact with the solder when trying to make a big area molten and smooth it all out nicely. It conducts more heat so it also allows you to move faster.
pardon my noob question but googling has left me drowning in information: What's the difference between stained glass and leaded glass? Why do you need a hotter iron for leaded glass? Thank you!
Stained glass is an overarching term for many mediums. Leaded glass is a medium of stained glass among others like copper foil, faceted glass, smalti mosaics, fused glass,etc. Think of it like painting as the over arching terms with different mediums like water color, oil, etc. We use a higher melting point solder for leaded glass so the hotter iron is faster for better productivity.
Hakko says not to use the sal block on their irons. Its not compatible with the metal used. You will shorten the life of your tip. Use their tip cleaner. More info on care can be found on their RUclips channel eye on Hakko.
When i do edge beading, I like to use clothespins to grab the piece, to keep my fingers out of the line of fire!
That's a great idea!
Good soldering-iron art work
glad to know i'm not the only one that spills in the studio ALL the time lol 😂 great video!
All the time 🤣
'start with a joint and end with a joint'--words to live by😎😁...nice video man thanks
😅
@4:20 🌿 Getting a little trippy at 4:20 🤣
😵
Good video! @@Mr.StainedGlass
You should also mention blowouts, which happen when you spend too much time on a joint, it melts all the way through and the solder falls through.
Thank you!
Thank you!
Happy to help!
Thanks for the soldering tips 👍
No problem 👍
Very interesting and informative post. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!

Thanks McGills! I normally prefer it also.
I am quite new to stained glass and copper foiling. Your videos are extremely helpful. Many thanks!
Glad you like them!
Real helpful - thank you
Happy to help!
How did you do the perimeter? Do you have a video on this? Thank you!!!

I understand that you mentioned that the soldering equipment F601 can be set to different temperatures. What temperature shall you use? Thank you
2nd from hottest to move quickly, 3rd from hottest for edge beading so it keeps its shape on the edge pretty easily
What temperature do you recommend setting your soldering iron for copper foil?
Hottest for lead free
What and how do you pick up solder if it lands on the glass?
Normally it will just pop off if you scrape it lightly with a piece of wood or plastic after it has dried.
It looks like sometimes you keep the tip straight with a finger rather than allowing it to free flow. When do you apply each method? Thank you

Thank you for posting this video. One suggestion: the background0 music is too loud, very distracting.
How hot do you keep your soldering iron?
It's around 400 for copper foil, a little less for edge beading.
Please tell me i am use solding wire and solding iron
We sell on our website cavalliniglass.com
I am new to stain glass. After copper foiling and shouldering, with a little pressure, my pieces get separated. What is the reason?
You need to secure the pieces on the perimeter with nails or scrap trim boards
Sir I need flux soldering wire and black patina
You can check out our website! Cavalliniglass.com
@@Mr.StainedGlass thnx sir
Sir please tell me solding wire use 50*50 .. I am use 60*40 but not working easy and not malt

Sal Ammoniac does not tin the iron it cleans the iron.
Thank you!
Hi
Howdy
Hakko recommends never to use sal amoniac on their tips.
Thank you for letting me know!!
Solder doesn’t dry it cools and hardens.
True, I've definitely felt the burn before it cools quite a few times.
An n95 mask as protection against… what? Not the fumes.
Lead dust from wire brushing. Also, there are some particulates that it does prevent from passing through!
