Stearns's Profile


Bio

I started working with stained glass in 1998. I have evolved from making small Christmas ornaments to Tiffany lamps, my own lamp designs to huge windows. I don't have a business, but mostly make things for myself and family and friends as gifts. I enjoy making my own designs, but is is harder than taking a pattern and picking out glass. Research is important. A lot of my original designs, like the dragon, have really small pieces in them and hard to work with.

Great for finishing, December 23, 2008 5 stars
Pros
Sets up quick,making the finished results looking great. Heats at a lower temperature than 50/50 so used after the 50/50/ you get fewer melt throughs.
Cons
None that I have found.
Other Thoughts
When I solder a lamp, I use Canfield 50/50 first on the outside and use the Quick Set for the inside and finish on the outside of the lamp. Works great.
