@Eric S. Eric, I have found that with some irons the hot spot is actually about 1/4 inch from the tip. Not sure if this is why the solder won't stick to your iron or not but just wanted to offer that up.

I am having trouble with my solder not "Hanging on the tip of my Iron" this just started since I've been using a differnet brand of solder so I'm not sure about what to do. I guess the obvious answer would be to try a more expensive solder but I'm just not sure. I do a lot of decorative solder work and msy hsve to use a 50/50 solder. What do you think? any help would be apprieciated. Rick

I need to know how to measure the oak frame pieces for my finished stained glass. The oak frame stock is 2". How far from the panel itself should I measure?

Sometimes on project I don't frame, I only put solder on the foil, the foil starts to come off the glass. I have stained glass pieces that were bought for me, that aren't framed, and the foil has stayed on for years. Is there a trick to getting the foil to stay on?

I am having trouble with the new poinsettia texture mold. I keep getting a huge bubble in the middle. I tried two layers of glass and I tried putting frit in the middle. Nothing is working. It is very frustrating when these products do not come with instructions. The one that I downloaded and followed was for the peacock texture. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It is a beautiful mold, but is getting expensive creating failures.

I don't have problems with Zinc framing but have never done wood. I bought the oak wood stock but don't know how to measure to get the miters right. You state "Remember to add for the mitre allowance to get the proper outside size to cut the frame." What do you mean. I know there has to be some type of formula, I believe I got the 2" stock. Do you measure your piece and add 4 inches and then delete what the routed inside measurement is? HELP!!!!

Ok, as someone who is teaching themselves, i want to know: Why: NOTE: Use only solid-core solder. Never use acid or rosin core solder for stained glass. On my begining project i clean the copper foil with flux and then use 60/40 with flux core. Works out great.

I d like to know if the 90 coe dots are compatibles to float glass coe 88? thank you I m from Buenos Aires Argentina

I have an unfinished stained glass project I'd like to try fusing instead; I have no idea what the glass COE; any idea with regard as if there's any change of success to fuse this into one solid panel?

I'm going to do a bird bath for a Christmas project. I'm using stained glass pieces on the bottom, how do we get them to stick on the bottom. And how do I seal the cement. Thanks 1st timer
