Choosing the Right Solder When Making Stained GlassSolder, with copper foil, is what holds the individual pieces of glass together in a stained glass panel.
What is Solder? It is a mixture of alloys that usually comes on one pound spools. The types are determined by the mixture of alloys used in producing it. A 60/40 combination will melt at a lower heat than a 50/50 combination of alloys. A 63/37 is used for decorative effect. You will find a variety of manufacturers. Canfield and Mastercraft are manufacturers commonly used. I have used other brands, finding minimal quality difference.
