@StaceysLawnDecor I bought three of these beautiful textured mold. My first was the Art Neveau rectangle. Two layers of 96coe and used the tutorial fusing schedule. Perfect, two beautiful pieces and zero issues. But now with the Tree of Life and the Round Floral molds I have had complete failure. Ruining glass like crazy. Did you have any success? I am considering drilling some air holes.

I am getting dull sections on my solder beads. I use foil and adequate amounts of flux. Any idea why this is occurring? Vincent

@cassiecaraway soldered seams are not designed to be bent. The adhesive foil with a thin solder line will, as you've seen, come apart if too much pressure is applied. If you're trying to create a dimensional project, like a box, you want to solder your pieces at the appropriate angle right from the beginning. A Handy Wedge (item

@suchitass if you have a converter for the plug, I believe you should just be able to plug it in and get started. If you have no converter you are welcome to return the iron for a refund - that may be a time consuming option - and select a soldering iron with international voltage. Feel free to contact [email protected] for additional assistance, we will be happy to help.

I am recently back into doing stained glass and i have a big problem. Whenever i solder two pieces of glass together,it will come apart if you try and bend it. Is this normal? You do have to apply some force to bend them apart but Shouldnt it be stronger? I am using 60\40 solder, and i am soldering both sides.

@TripleR you will need to use a bronze wool or a metal brush to rough up the solder and remove patina and oxidation. You will also want to wipe it down with alcohol or wash it well to get the solder to adhere. If it's an extremely old panel you may wish to consult with a glass restoration specialist for tips and information.

I noticed (new) solder will not adhere to the patina on (old) solder....trying to move O rings to a new position so the panel hangs better. Do I need to sand the patina off?

@sydsgrammy you will need to use a mold primer prior to slumping the glass in your mold. There are a variety of primers available to choose from. Primo Primer is an excellent choice (item
