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.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

4 Ways to Stop Procrastinating Today
Apr 30, 2010
Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
