Add Solder Beads to Your Stained Glass

Video Transcript

"Now we are going to do the soldering or the tacking of the piece together with little beads of soldier at the joints. We take the already heated up soldering iron, it has been fluxed, and we just see if we can tack this together with a little bead here and there. Yes, there it goes, one drop, two drops, three. If the flux is working, you will hear it as it matches, as it meets the copper foil. Now we're turning what was a wishy washy piece of many things into one forged metal and glass window. You want to keep it lined up or you lose your square almost there, oh dear. It's alright this is a free form, oh dear no solder there because the flux did not get there. You just keep going until every little part has met the solder. Still a lot more to do here, but it's coming together, I think we might have to flux a bit more and when you get through it all should be attached. Lets see does it move, yeah, that's all attached now we need to spread it."
