How Do You Solder Stained Glass Pictures?
Soldering a stained glass picture can be a somewhat challenging skill to learn, but the end result is well worth the effort. There are two ways to put stained glass together — lead came and copper foil. The copper foil technique is more commonly used on smaller stained glass projects, and requires a more intensive soldering process. Every line of the project must be soldered, and learning the technique to achieve a slightly rounded smooth line of solder can take some time and practice. Clean all of the pieces. Check to ensure the copper foil has been applied correctly. At this point, everything should fit together with a minimal gaps. Any splits in the copper foil should be fixed as that will show up in the solder line. Set the soldering iron on medium high to high and allow it to heat up. Apply the flux evenly and fairly lightly. You can use either paste flux or liquid flux. Every line of copper foil should be fully covered by flux. It does not matter if it gets on the glass as well,
