Thanks so much it was actually someone on Facebook that recommended it for decorative solder, works so well! A bit of a learning curve in terms of the speed though.. 🤣
I couldn't find the link for the decorative soldering video that you mentioned that is more in-depth. Could you tell me where to find that video? Thank you!
Hi Amy. I’m a creative and crafter. I up cycle, thrift, paint furniture, just about everything except for stain glass. You’re probably wondering why I’m writing to you. I was given a large amount of copper foil that is used for Stainglass. Wondering if you have any ideas what could be used for I like your foil overlay with the soldering however, I don’t solder either. Just thought I would reach out. I really love the bumblebee that you made.
Aimee, Great video. Thank you. What is the gauge or thickness of the copper foil overlay? I assume you are using a Cricut Maker to print the overlay, yes? Thanks again. Rich
Since you're using glass glue would you be able to get away with using a sheet of copper with no adhesive backing, or would the edco foil with adhesive backing still be the best option in making these overlays? I've had so many issues making smaller overlays and the adhesive just failing when soldering so that glass glue idea seems superb!!
I have a glass box, that has copper foil around the edges. It has broken at one point so I would like to solder it back into place. The problem is that even over the current soldered spots, it is a copper color. How do I get the box the color of copper over the soldered spots?
@@tjbear4197 The heat from soldering the foil like this would most likely crack the glass underneath, so I use a tempered glass plate for building up the solder 😄
@BirchGlass ok. I recently made a Yoshi in my glass class, and I was hoping that I would be able to solder the pupils of the eus on (oval shapes), but I was told that it wouldn't work cos the solder would have nothing to hold on to (even though I talked about using some copper foil). I don't understand. I ended up gluing some black glass on for the eyes, but I am not happy with it, as pupils aren't meant to bug out of the eyes like that.
I’ve never seen this skill before, so well done and thanks for sharing.
Cant wait to see the decorative solder vid!
This is so cool!
Eheheheee THANKS ICEHEART! 🥰
I thought that was pretty interesting. Thank you
Is the decorative solder video out yet? Love the wings on that bee.
Great idea using Leather tools!

Thankyou so much for sharing. 🙂🙂
Thank you so much for watching Karen I hope it was helpful!
very good

Wow
Hi, can you please let me know which and where you get tools from to do the patina on the solder. Regards Trev

Hi Rich! Thanks so much, I use a Maker 3, and it's EDCO foil sheet :-)
Where do you get "ETCO" copper foil and at what thickness? Thank you, loved your vid!
I'd love to know where you found the scallop shape metal stamp for the bee wings. Thank you so much!

What size was the dog paw that you did? I saw they come in different sizes. Thanks.
Hi Sue that was the Medium paw! 😊
How do you make such perfect foil overlays. Do you use something like a Silhouette cutting machine to cut out your patterns?

It sounds like you're looking for copper patina! :)
Thank you! @@BirchGlass
But if I copper patina over solder, will that change the silver solder to copper color?@@BirchGlass
What thickness do you use for the foil?
Why don't you just stick the copper straight on to the finished product, before soldering?
