Pros : Adds that final touch you just have to have for your project. I will not let a piece out the door until it has been treated with this.
Cons :
Other Thoughts : Shake well before use. Put on like car wax let dry to a dull haze. I use an old tee shirt to apply and to polish it to a bright glowing finish. In order to get to tight areas I use a tooth brush, you usually have to do this about two days after you apply it.

Pros : Highly recommend this product to shine, polish and bring that glass project out of the dull finished stage. It makes all the seams of your solder shine and look like metal.
Cons : Hard to get out of cracks. Keep lots of handy tools around - a big soft brush, old toothbrush, toothpicks, Q-tips, etc.

Pros : Gives a wonderful shine to finished pieces. Protects the solder lines. Wouldn't dream of installing a project without using this product as a final step.
Cons : None.
Other Thoughts : Easy to use. Remove excess wax along edges of solder with Q-tips. Great product.

Cutting Mosaic Backgrounds
Jun 24, 2010
1. Make the glass strips as wide as youd like your mosaic chunks to be. Strips about 1/2 to 3/4 usually work well. 2. Snip small pieces off the strip. Aiming your mosaic cutter straight across the strip will produce squares and rectangles. Aiming the cutter at an angle (the same angle each time you cut) will give you diamonds. A combination of aiming straight across the strip and at alternating angles will produce triangles. 3. Once youve aimed the cutter, just squeeze the handles until a piece of glass breaks off. Or, you can snip pieces off a larger piece of glass. Cut near the edge and work towards the middle. This will produce random moon shaped pieces, which you can use to fill in small areas of background. They also make nice leaves.
Holding Small Pieces In Place While You Solder
Jun 07, 2010
1. Make sure that your pieces are clean and dry. Cut a piece of clear contact paper, remove the backing and lay it sticky-side-up over the pattern. 2. This is a perfect way to hold cut glass, globs, jewels, or marbles in place for tack soldering. As you can see in the photo, you can even move the sheet around and, if you are careful, you shouldn’t disturb the glass at all. 3. Tack solder the pieces to each other as you normally would. Then, remove the contact paper and finish soldering the front before turning the project over and soldering the back. Reprinted with permission from Stained Glass News. All rights reserved.
Regular Solder vs. Lead-Free Solder
May 05, 2010
I have some questions about Lead-Free Solder. Does it tarnish over time? Can you use patina on it? Does it flow like regular solder? Is it better than regular solder? We are sure that you arent the only one with these questions. Lets start with the question of whether or not its better than regular solder. Since the harm from lead is caused by ingestion, any project that will come in contact with food or food containers should be made with lead-free solder. In addition, anything that is handled, like jewelry or kaleidoscopes, should be made with lead-free solder. Hands have a terrible habit of making it into the mouth before they get washed. So, yes it is better than regular solder in these situations. As far as working with solder, you should be diligent about cleaning your hands after touching any solder. Dont eat, drink, smoke, or do anything
