Product Description

Glass artists need a very specific mix of alloys in their solder to get a smooth and clean bead on their work. Lead-free solder is ideal for projects that will be handled frequently or worn, or in workshops and classrooms that need to stay lead free. DGS works and gives the finished appearance of 60/40, excellent flow characteristics, runs an exceptional bead and is environmentally safe and easy to use. The DGS melts solid to liquid 415 - 490° F. Sold in a 1 lb. spool.

Delphi Tip: Lead-Free Solder should be used when making projects where your skin comes in contact with it, such as jewelry, boxes and kaleidoscopes.

Soldered jewelry shown made by artist Shannon Jones. From Delphi's Online Artist Gallery.

  •   Love Lead Free
By on
Pros : Easy to work with, great for decorative solder, Great shine, takes copper patina better than leaded (if you do a good job cleaning), lead free, structurally excellent.
Cons : none
Other Thoughts : Use a product to neutralize the flux and clean well (I like method mint glass cleaner). Add a tiny snip of copper wire and use a paint brush. You can get an even copper patina that is so coppery you'd think that was what you soldered with. I apply rustolium clear coat and my works have been outside in Michigan for 12 months w/o oxidation. You can use painters blue tape over the glass or nail polish remover to take the clear coat off the glass if you want.

  •   If you don't use patina...
By on
Pros : Fairly good flow
Cons : Doesn't take patina easily. Once the solder does take the patina, it has a silvery to blue hue. I won't purchase this again.

How and when did you get started in glass art? I saw an article about Kristin Frantzen-Orr along with a step by step example of how to do one of her famous floral beads. I talked about it so much my husband bought me a beginning torch set for the following Christmas. Once I got the kiln and the duel fuel torch, I just kept experimenting and growing from there. Kristin is still my idol and I keep telling myself that one day I will do nice, clean floral beads like hers. Your jewelry, vases, plates etc. are all beautiful. I especially love the geologic nature of your Copper Reactive dish, its so unique. Can you tell us a little about how you achieved that look? The base glass is Bullseye Steel Blue Opal (000146) and it reacts all on its own. I used clear stringers and broke up chunks
The Importance of Packaging
Apr 29, 2010
We tell ourselves not to judge a book by its cover, but the simple truth is, we are attracted to whats attractive. On a recent hunt for a birthday present for my mother, I came across several beautiful handbags in several different boutiques. What ultimately influenced my final purchase decision was the complimentary gift-wrapping offered by one of the storeowners. The handbag itself wasnt any prettier or better quality than the others I was considering, but the packaging was beautiful. Brightly colored tissue, a big sturdy box, quality wrapping paper and an oversized hand-tied bow. No, it wasnt sealed with a kiss, rather a large gold embossed sticker with the boutique name and logo (theres nothing wrong with a little discreet self-promotion). Here are a few tips for better packaging-it might just buy you your next customer. 1. Show your customers what theyll get. The boutique I mentioned earlier had
Learning the Hard Way
Apr 29, 2010
Delphi merchandiser Kayleigh McGrath recently shared some photos from her early days at Delphi. She was playing around with different colors and textures of glass and learning the hard way that there are limits to what you can do (and cant do) in fusing. The first image shows what happened when Kayleigh layered dichroic glass, coating to coating. The base is 90 COE dichroic rainbow pixi stix on black, (Delphi item 921714) and the top is an old texture we dont carry any more (cyan red radium on clear.) The second image is of a piece Kayleigh loved so much she impatiently removed it from the kiln when it was still too hot (havent we all done this. ) As you can see, it suffered thermal shock. This was made with the same 90 COE pixi stix on black for the base and capped with Delphi item U630090 90 COE
