Thank you for talking about PPE often times. It is just glazed over. I am glad you showed us what you wear. Thanks to your suggestions I might look into using materials that don’t involve lead like Something with a higher melting point, and also came without blood. Great video keep it up! Thanks for showing us your super cute creation!
Great tutorial Lottie, Just looking into having a go with stain glass in my spare time, I already make titanium rings (Ringcrafts), could I ask you were do you get your glass from, keep up the great work.
Hi ! I'm really new into the hobby and sorry if my question seems dumb, but how did you do the eyes and nose ? Did you just draw on the glass with a marker ? Thanks !
Thank you for this video! It's so informative and also very pretty to look at. I love the glass you used for the background, it looks so much like water! I have a question though, because you said lead is only dangerous when ingested. In my country it used to be a tradition to heat up lead, but then it was banned because of dangerous fumes that should not breathed in and that form when heating up lead. So is the lead you use for stained glass special in a way that does not produce fumes? Or can the mask filter that out 100%? I'm just very hesitant about the fumes because there has been so much information here due to the ban.
Definitely wear a better mask. One with replaceable filters should have an option for welders. That’s what you want. Otherwise go for an n100 HEPA particulate filter. Even if you are using lead-free WEAR A MASK. The hotter temps actually make the fumes worse. Anything rated for welders will be good enough for solder.
Depends on where you are I think! So if you’re UK, it’s on tempsford stained glass and the creative glass guild! For US, I think another stained glass artist gets hers from Amazon
What am i doing wrong my solder falls off in beeds and hardens immediately. It also doesnt run down the tip like this it just collects till it gets too heavy and falls in a lump. Im horrible at this apperently.
Nooo you're not horrible! Sorry for the delay in my response but this could be so many different things! It might be the solder you are using, there are different grades of solder as well as amount of lead. Though I think it sounds like your missing tip tinner on your iron, or possibly your iron is too hot. Hopefully you've resolved the issue now though! Let me know how you got on!
@@evanlane1690 lol no worries 😅 i figured if out! It was that my iron was able to get hot enough i had to hold it on longer and by the time i held it long enough to make that solder melt i was essentially burning it and it was only just getting to melting point so it would immediately solidify as soon as i let off
I place the came as close to the rings as I can get it then solder on top of the came joining it to the solder already on the ring. I hope that makes some sense, but I will make sure to add this into one of my future videos!
What makes a good RU-vidr vs a not so good RU-vidr is to answer questions. If it wasn't mentioned in the video that makes it even more important. If you want to help us and it is for educational purposes, then please take the time to answer. We really appreciate it! Just my opinion 😊
The whole point of RU-vid is for internet creators to have a community. Removing the social element of it destroys the platform. Why would you use the platform if you don’t think it should be social. :)
@@TheNightshadePrince Hi Nightshade, I completely agree with you. She is acting like a little snot! I just unsubscribed. There are so many kind and helpful people on RU-vid, I don't need to waste my time with her!
have you ever used lead came on the edges or just soldering like normal? I’ve seen others use lead came but it looks overly complicated when you can just do what you’re doing here and it looks great! love your videos!
