I have watched this three times! You see I am trying my hand at soft solder jewelry and I’m trying to learn the correct way to work with solder. It finally dawned on me to look at stained glass soldering tutorials along with the soft solder jewelry tutorials. You have given so much good advice and techniques! I was not at all successfully doing anything until I purchased this hakko soldering iron! Now that I have it things are flowing like smooth butter, so now I needed to learn techniques. I now feel like I will be successful. You are a very good teacher and I hope you will continue adding more soldering related content to your channel. Thank you for sharing this much needed info!
I plan on doing a jewelry video soon. I hope you can pick up a few soldering ideas there. Thank you for all your kind words!. In a world where people can be cruel with there comments your words are refreshing! 😍
@@juliefeigum8766 that will be great! I was trying to make balls and your tutorial is the only one that breaks it down. I was quite intrigued with what you were doing out of frame. I was trying to do what I thought you were doing- wiping iron off on the wet sponge then dipping it in flux? It did really clean off iron - almost to good. I re-tin more than I think should. Areas of interest to me at this time are how to attach a bail seamlessly, stamp hot solder with red rubber stamps to imprint a design, layering up solder and creating texture with the solder, and how to encase a gemstone in copper tape and attaching it to frame of a larger pendant. Anything you decide to teach I am quite confident you will teach expertly and I’m looking forward to whatever you determine to teach. Thanks!
I also like how she uses everyday items such as qtips, pledge and i think window cleaner. I really hope she does jewelry vids. I begun buying some of the items like a soldering gun and a blue heat mat for working on , i never so much as held a soldrting gun kit with adjustable heat, yet but i hope to learn to make jewelry and not stained glass. I'm also legally blind so this should be an interesting challenge 😊
@@15Montrano Julie, thank you for making this video! Your 43-minute video made more sense to me than all the reading and other videos on soft soldering I have watched COMBINED. Looking forward to more content from you ♥️
What an excellent video, the only sad thing is it appears to be the only vid you made so far on soldering. I really hope you plan to do more. You are an excellent teacher. 😊
That is awesome 😀 I hope it will give you that out of that box thinking that helps you stay in front of any (trends that are getting old ) push ahead ❣️
Thank you so much for this video , for taking the time to teach others , I been looking for a video that explains how to do the dogs and so far haven’t found one until this one appear ! I’m super happy thank you !
@@LeslieBurkhammer there is stress in soldering. But there doesn't need to be! Just breathe play calm music, Go slow when you solder you'll get a better line of solder. It's not a race it's just the last leg of your project and one that really makes it a show piece of the soldering is done right. 😊☺️ and watch a how to solder video.
It never occurred to me to practice like this. I was thinking I would “need” to make a stained glass project to learn soldering. Like I had a total “oh yeah duh” moment watching this lol Typical me making things more complicated then necessary 🤦♀️
@takingbackangie5 I love getting feedback. I love teaching this medium 😍 I will be putting on a box making video soon. I do sell DVDs on decorative soldering with advanced techniques that go way beyond what you see in this TH-cam video. Thank you for watching.
@@juliefeigum8766 Awesome! I have to check those out! I am brand spank’n new baby at stained glass and soldering lol it might be a minute before I can think of anything advanced!
@@takingbackangie5 Welcome to the wonderful world of Glass, all I can say is spread your wings and check out all the avenues of creating things with glass.
I have a huge studio and the flux I use doesn't smoke, and my iron is regulated so as to not burn off old oxidation from other materials. I hope I answered your questions. ☺️
@@Nik-b9b thank you so much for the compliment but I also need you to know that I've been doing glass for almost 30 years and practice makes perfect just keep up the work keep practicing you might use some solder doing it but it's worth it in the end.
Hi Julie just joined yr channel ive been doing leadlight & stained glass art for 2 years, thats the first time anyone has explain the flux brush, now i know why some of my joins have come apart, Thankyou 😊and please make yr wire work dvd, did that work have you made it yet 🤣🤣 Thankyou for sharing yr knowledge
I've been a teacher for many years and had a lot of students take refresher SG class, and the first thing that hit the trash can was the FLUX BRUSH! The one thing I noticed that when the Cooper foil looks more like dirty gold that solder doesn't want to adhere to it. Fix that by putting your foil in a air tight Ziploc, or going swimming in a pool of flux to try to get your foil to take the solder. Thank you for watching ❣️
You can use anything, I just have had great success with this. I also wash some items with blue dawn dish soap. Invisalign glass I buy it at farm and fleet or Menards or Amazon. Thanks for asking
@@marjoriesahs6648 I have a Hako FX-601 I run my temperature between 310 and 360 I put my arrow between those two numbers. I use 60/40 eagle brand solder. Thank you for watching my video And for the question.
Thank you so much for watching I did it for a Facebook group, I didn't know about people commenting on it so I'm just now getting around to answering everyone. 😊
@@jenniferandrews2212 Yes I do use lemon pledge than doing it for almost 30 years now I've never had one issue it's nothing fancy but it leaves my lines black and shiny and my silver ones too.
Hi Julie, Thank you so very much for doing this tutorial!! Some questions...I've been told to never use a sponge with the Hakko because it doesn't need it. Do you find that's not true?? Also was told not to use steel wool because it could leave fibers behind that could rust. What are your thoughts?? Thanks again for the great video!!
Im a creature of habit and I still use my sponge and I have had the same iron for 6 years, never had a problem, but I also don't run my iron on MEGA HIGH! I run mine at 310° to 360° Ive used 0000 steel wool since 1993, it will give you the best black line ever, or any color patina for that fact. The trick to the steel wool is to make sure your pice is dry then rub the lines brush off any particles left over ( you could wash off if you wish ) Then patina. I hope I answered your questions 😀
I use a torch and silver solder and you can’t do that. Does the solder contain nickel? It is illegal to see lol Nickel jewellery here in the UK and in the EU.

Suggestion, if you are making creative ideas and videos, put the art closer to the camera or mounting above , front angle. And your thumbnail be of a finished piece. So ppl will want to click on your video's to learn how to.... make the item in thumbnail. I'm creative like you, but i also have photography in my background as well... along with theater, cosmetology, costumes and floral of all kinds. But i can do most anything i put my mind to.

How do you make the bigger dots. I have your dvd. I’m trying to do the dots on the edge of the glass😊
Maybe make 2 applications?
Add more solder to your tip.
Just string the handle of the cup and then you can use it for hot drinks.

Solder isn't paint, therefore it technically doesn't dry. It cools then hardens as from its molten state.
I'm sorry but when I did this video I was having a hard time finding my words. Between PTSD, fibromyalgia, and COVID brain fog, I do forget my words, sorry.
I was on the spot to think of a word and molten and cooling wasn't in my arsenal of words that day.

Solder cools it doesn't dry! Never double dip in your flux. You are making it weaker. Clean off your steel wool after using it. Leaves rust spots ugh
