Thank you so much! Very helpful video, your soldering is impressive. I did have a bit of a giggle at that last bastard piece of glass though - how annoying, haha

Thanks for the video. Do you use the same temp as soldering or do you turn your iron up? Sometimes I’m not sure how to gauge wether the old foil on the good side is still strong enough to not be replaced.

i've been trying to fix the solder on some older patina'ed pieces i've made but having issues with the old solder melting/new solder sticking. i think because of oxidation? any advice. i tried cleaning with steel wool before hand but it didn't seem to make much of a difference.

Hi Samantha, Thanks for a very helpful video. I have my first piece that I have to repair. With regard to the glass thickness, would it not be easier to do by turning it on it's front so the piece is flush with the face of the rest of the piece? I have only been doing this a little while but I have noticed that if I have a piece with several thicknesses of glass, once I'm done foiling, I lay the piece upside down and tack it. Then go to the front. Am I wrong in doing it this way?

@MakeStainedGlass 5 лет назад

When doing a repair, whichever way you flip it, the new piece of glass will not sit flush to the existing glass as there are solder seams holding the rest of the panel away from the work surface. If the front is face down and you add the new piece of glass, it will sit flat on the table whereas the rest of the glass is held up from the table a bit, because of those solder seams. Doing it without anything to prop the glass up slightly will cause the new piece to appear too far forward or too far back compared with the rest of the project. If you're making a new panel with varying thicknesses of glass, doing it the way you said will definitely create a nice flush finish to the front and that's exactly what I would recommend to do - on a NEW panel. Repairs are a different story though. I hope this helps and good luck with the repair!
