My 6 panel lamp shade has pulled apart when i was soldering it together at the seams pulling the foil away from glass. Can i reflux and solder? Will it stay?
Clean off the flux as best as you can, use a lot of tape to hold everything back together. Tack the panels back in place. You can push the glass back into the foil, but, you might try using foil to ‘tape’ it back together. Run the foil down the panel seams where the foil already is. Re-flux and re-solder. Hope that helps!
Look for "vase cap" on the web. They come in brass (alloy of copper and zinc). Try to find the closest measurement that covers the top "diameter" of the lampshade opening. It's a pentagon/hexagon, so just measure across from point to point. Better to be slightly larger than too small. Best of luck, and thank you for watching!
Now it's called the Handy Wedge and it's here on Amazon. Shop around for it a bit, to find the best price. www.amazon.com/Handy-Wedge-Set-2/dp/B00HHD0QNY
salma ibrahim Hi, if you would like the pattern, give me your email address, and I'll send it to you! Anyone else reading this, my email is angelaberzins@yahoo.com
Thank you. I've never done a lampshade and you made it seem simple.
You are so welcome- you can do it! :-)
This is amazing can’t wait to try this pattern. do you know what kind of lamp base i should get for this? Is there a certain size to look for size.
I get all my bases from Goodwill. I'd get a lamp bulb clip, aka a bulb adapter, and a lamp base no taller than around 10 inches or so.

Thank you madam for your useful video🎉 if the video had subtitle for none natives that dont understand some words it would be better🎉
So sorry! Google Translate might be a useful tool in your case? I use it a lot!
Thanks for watching! :)
Awesome. Thank you for this great tutorial. Where do I find patterns for smaller shades, or making my own pattern 😊
Thank you! search for “free stained glass panel lampshade patterns” to figure out what panel shape you like the best. Good luck!

hey.. these videos are very helpful :) could you please tell me what wax to use after soldering.
I use a brand made for stained glass called "Liva." It works really well. However, cheap car wax works, too! Turtle Wax!
Find a dish or object to set it on while soldering.
That's a good tip!
how can i make a design for lampshade ???
can you help me?
