I have a vintage Tiffany dragonfly lamp , that needs repair where the lead has come loose. Can you please tell me what I will need to repair this? Thank you!

I love using the microwave kiln - I now have 2 small and 1 large. I also have a large regular kiln. The 2 small ones are great for rotating two projects without waiting for it to cool down. I really only use the Ney furnace for large shapes. I love how fast this process is in the microwave. The only problem I have to watch out for is touching the glass after touching my oily face. The glass will crack. Have fun and just do it.

How can I keep the the colour of the lead came after I have cleaned it with steel wool? It comes up beautifully shiny but quickly dulls again and I don't much like the black finish/

@ All of the brands and types of flux that we offer at Delphi are appropriate for soldering your glass art projects. If you prefer a paste flux, Rubyfluid makes a paste flux that is popular for soldering lamps and other dimensional projects as it is easy to apply with a brush but won't drip or run. Some artists prefer liquid or gel flux formulas. We offer multiple brands including some safety formulas that are non-irritation and non-corrosive. All of these options will allow your solder to flow smoothly and create a strong bond to copper foil or lead came. Don't forget to choose some flux remover to clean up your project when it's all done!

Is it true that Spectrum is ending production of their sheet glass?

Gail, to prevent the copper came from changing color apply a finishing compound (carnauba wax) to both polish and protect your piece. It will leave a protective film which will help slow down the oxidation process of came and solder, but won't stop it completely. It's a natural process. The only way to prevent this is to polish your pieces regularly.

@MrsJake: I think the products would say how long. I am thinking it would be in the range of 7-8 days.

Is the no days adhesive used for mosaics good for glass on glass --- such as is it foggy when applied and heated eliminating value of transparent glass mosaic pieces. Also, does the adhesive stick on both the substrate and glass, etc. If not, what non-water adhesive would work with the no-days. Thanks.

Hello, i'm doing a light house SG project. It calls for wire overlay for the lighthouse railings. Could you explain how to do it and what wire i should purchase. Thank You

@Marydhuhn Thank you for contacting us. I have checked under a few of the categories and information appears to be present. I would love to resolve this issue for you, can you be more specific as to which categories?
