Very interesting and informative post. Thank you so much

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Glad it was helpful!

[@aaronwadzinski5761]

When i do edge beading, I like to use clothespins to grab the piece, to keep my fingers out of the line of fire!

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

That's a great idea!

I am quite new to stained glass and copper foiling. Your videos are extremely helpful. Many thanks!

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Glad you like them!

[@suryasilvestre7891]

I understand that you mentioned that the soldering equipment F601 can be set to different temperatures. What temperature shall you use? Thank you

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

2nd from hottest to move quickly, 3rd from hottest for edge beading so it keeps its shape on the edge pretty easily

[@texasmarshalls]

How did you do the perimeter? Do you have a video on this? Thank you!!!

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

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!

[@debikutzer2774]

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 TH-cam channel eye on Hakko.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Thank you!

[@user-il8rk6gr2o]

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

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

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.

[@carlalakins]

Thank you for posting this video. One suggestion: the background0 music is too loud, very distracting.

[@texasmarshalls]

What and how do you pick up solder if it lands on the glass?

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Normally it will just pop off if you scrape it lightly with a piece of wood or plastic after it has dried.

[@SelfishLove1]

How hot do you keep your soldering iron?

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

It's around 400 for copper foil, a little less for edge beading.

[@Alexandra-ks7cb]

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!

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

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.

[@CSimi115]

Hakko recommends never to use sal amoniac on their tips.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Thank you for letting me know!!

[@TrippKnightly]

An n95 mask as protection against… what? Not the fumes.

[@Mr.StainedGlass]

Lead dust from wire brushing. Also, there are some particulates that it does prevent from passing through!
