Do you mean how many projects could you get out of one spool? Are you used to buying in bars instead of spools?

​​@@mountainwomanproducts Thank you for your quick reply...I haven't started with stained glass actually, just stocking up for getting started and was curious how many projects can you make with this spool, how quickly do you run out..I know it is a little bit tricky to answer since every project is different but just for an idea..hope, it makes sense (english is not my first language)

@@petranadraska7858 That makes sense totally. You're doing great with English! 💕 It's really hard to say how many projects you can do from one roll for just the reason you said: every project is soooo different in size, number of pieces, if you do decorative solder, etc. I think it's safe to say if you're sticking with small & simple suncatchers to start, you'll get some good practice in from one roll.

Hehehe! Thank you! Ca-caw! Ca-caw! (those were Raven noises...looove your username!)

😂Yaaaaaaay!! Und zeez eees vy we luff the Silberschnitt!😘

Aw thanks!🥰 They're the universal language. I didn't realize how many sound effects I made until I started doing videos & people mentioned it. Guess I never grew out of them!😂

Aw man! I'm sorry. They're not the cheapest, but when you can see your way to it, they're so worth it😃

Do you know which model number you have?

Squeeee! Thank you! Sound effects are the universal language.🥰

You can absolutely use these all the time if ya want to. They function for all the breaks (curve, squiggles, straight) really. The pads on the Silberschnitts wear out faster than the running pliers so you can switch up between the two if you prefer. I carry replacement pads for them in the shop if you ever need them.😀

@@mountainwomanproducts Great answer! Thanks!

@@MitchTubeism Anytime! Happy to help😀

I'm so sorry I missed your questions! Grab some picture frame glass from a yard sale, dollar store, thrift store, or ask a local window shop for glass scraps. Picture frame glass is generally thinner than what we use in stained glass, but it'll give you a good and inexpensive feel for scoring. I'm using double strength 1/8" clear window glass in this video (but picture frame glass is cheaper).

Thank you!! 💕It will wrinkle around round corners or circles which is totally normal. You just want to gently work the foil down around the sides & burnish well. 😃

@@mountainwomanproducts Thank you for your quick response. This part in question would stand alone and only have a copper frame, so I wouldn't like the wrinkle.

@@metalco1 Anytime!😀 The copper frame...do you mean just foil only? If not, when you solder, it covers any wrinkles that would be there.

@@mountainwomanproducts English lajsna Yes, the idea is to leave only the foil in that part, without soldering.

@@metalco1 Oh gotchya! The foil will easily tear or peel up though if you don't fully solder. If it's an option in the design, you could solder it fully and use copper patina to change the solder color to copper if you like.

Aw man. Big, huge ol air hugs!🙁 Yay for your new outlook though! It's never too late to do the stuff you wanna. Glassing is sooooo much fun, art is healing, and soldering can sometimes be a lil frustrating til you get the techniques down. And then it's almost meditative. I'm so glad you're gonna go for it! Let me know if you have questions. I'm always happy to help!💕

I think you have to or the whole project just falls apart immediately. 😁 And you're welcome anytime! Thank you for watching!🥰

Yes! When I started out everyone looked at me like I had twelve heads when I said I wanted to do lead free!😂 It was trial and error through lotsa brands til I settled on Amerway. I actually haven't tried Silvabrite, but the 100 does sound really close to Ruby. If you try them, lemme know what ya think!

Aw! I'm so sorry I missed your comment! Thank ya thank ya! (You simply haaaaaave to make the sound effects of it doesn't work)😂

Yay! Thank you💕

Yay! Thank you!🥰

Yay! Thank you🥰

Yay! That Tourmaline is a heck of a baloomba-er!😀. And thaaaaank you! Your order is going out today. Let me know how ya like them!

Thank you! The pattern is available in my shop if you want to make one too.

Hehe! Sound effect makers of the world unite! We can always find each other in a crowd.😁 Glad it helped!

@@3PairDesigns 😂Thanks! 💕 I had trouble to when I first got them too. Ya get sooooo used to the tools you’re used to. Sometimes ya just gotta see them in action!

I have them linked on My Favorite Tools & Supplies Page here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/stained-glass-tools-my-favorites/ 😀

@@devinteske oh I loved this mask! Fit so well I’d forget it was on. But then the company wouldn’t give me any documentation for efficacy for zinc chloride & ammonium chloride (the fluxes we use). I had to switch to a less comfortable 3M😭errrgh.

@@devinteske aw thank you!!! 🥰 Yay!! Sound effect makers of the world unite! Zschwoom! (That was all of us morphing towards each other in union)😁

Yay! 🥰Glad ya liked it. I made sure to put the words on the screen so you can hit the mute if the music isn't your thang (it's not my favorite ever either...limited options on here).

Yay! Thank you!🥰

Oh no! I have a couple of ideas. If ya forgot about it for a week and it dried on the whole piece all crusty, then in small test spots on the back: I'd put a cloth with warm water for a bit and see if it remoisturizes it. Or, put a bit of polish on again, let it there for a few minutes and see if it gets the undercoating uncrusty. If all else fails, you can use 0000 brass wool. It will dull the solder a bit cuz it puts some micro-scratches in it, but if you plan to patina, you won't notice that. If it's just some crusty leftover spots in the corners on the glass, then you can scrape it off with an X-acto knife. Lemme know how it goes!

Yup it works on lead free too. It's Novacan Copper. i have it here in my shop if ya need some: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/product/novacan-super-brite-copper-patina/

Ah never mind sapphire had lead. Whoppsy

Hehe! Thank you!! Lead free is definitely a bit harder to work with than lead, but totally doable. The keys are to run hotter and faster (with any of them). I have a blog post all about lead free if you're interested here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/all-about-using-lead-free-solder-for-stained-glass/ Of course, feel free to ask me any questions ya got here too!

Yay!! I keep mine at the same temp, but I do solder really fast. Do you tin the edge, the front, & the back first before you start edge beading?

Right?! It’s my new bff.😁

Yay! Anytime! It is the most fun fid😁

😁Yay!

@@mountainwomanproducts Well, I did actually glean some useful info from your video, so thank you. I did particularly enjoy the sound effects, however I was a bit miffed when near the end you say how important it is to tighten the set screw - I was hoping to hear some sort of whizzzzzing sound as it flew off the grinder, through the air, across the room and hit the cat! Sorry, couldn't help myself 😋💖

@@stixstudios3380 🤣🤣Sorry 'bout that. Zhhhhwiiiing! Fwwwwaaaaabapp! Meeeooeeeeesqqqqqueewwwwwerz! Also, Fwap Fwap Fwap (kitting retaliating).

@@mountainwomanproducts Thank you.

Aw thanks! 🥰It didn't happen overnight. Lotsa technique & practice. My personal fav is Canfield Blue Glass Liquid. I have a video comparing different fluxes here if ya wanna check it out: ua-cam.com/video/CwHZjlYgaDI/v-deo.htmlsi=9BkhI4vCeoTee9HJ

😀Yaaaaaaay! Agreed. Still my least fav step of the process, but less bad!🥰

I'd recommend brass because they're stronger. There's a link to the ones I use on My Favorite Tools & Supplies page here (scroll down to Extra Tools, Jigs & Other Fun Stuff): www.mountainwomanproducts.com/stained-glass-tools-my-favorites/

Hehehe! Thanks! I'm pretty sure it won't work if you don't make the noise.😂

Aw thanks!😄 And yay! Let me know how it works out for ya or if you still have trouble.

Eeek! I'm so sorry I missed your comment! ☹ The shiny factor of solder is going to be limited by the combination of metals used in it, but the type of polish you use and how well you scrub it can make a big difference too. You can use your dremel with a polishing head (soft floppy fabric kind) which is easier than rubbadubdubbing by hand a zillion times. But, you will have to change the polishing head out more often cuz they're little and they get shmecky pretty quickly. If you can find a solder up there that has similar components & quantities of metals to the Emerald or Ruby up there, that might help too! The Emerald is 97% tin, 3% copper. The Ruby is 97% tin, 2.75% copper, .25% silver. I like to use a one step polish & waxing combo of carnauba wax and whiting. The recipe is here if you're interested: ua-cam.com/video/pFJX44WrXUA/v-deo.htmlsi=NgMD7lczIJxcxq_W

Yuppers! It can be a couple of things. Is your foil old/oxidized/dirty? Are you using enough flux? And, are you keeping a separate container to dump just a lil flux in to use for each soldering session or are you dipping into the flux bottle? Lemme know and we'll iron it (hehe! that was totally accidental but I'm claiming it) all out.😁

Yay! Thank you😀 Aren't they the freakin' best?! Love 'em.

It's my favorite! One less thing to think about. 😀I have a big ol safety page on my blog if you're interested! www.mountainwomanproducts.com/blog/

Isn't it freakin' adorable?! I love mine. It's the Creator's Hummingbird. If you decide ya want one, I have them available in my shop here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/product/creators-hummingbird-glass-cutter/ 😀

Yay! Thank you! Clamping it to the table was the big key for me. Let me know how it goes for ya.😃

😂Yay! Happy to help! If ya have any other questions or comparisons, let me know.

Yay! Thanks! Glad it was helpful🥰 Canfield Liquid Flux is my BFF, but everyone has their preferences. I have a video comparing different types of fluxes here (they all work with lead free too, which I'm using in the video): ua-cam.com/video/CwHZjlYgaDI/v-deo.html For foil, both Edco and Stained Glass Foil brands are great! I'd stay away from cheapie random brands as they usually don't stick well & have a tendency to split around curves. If ya need any, I have all the fluxes, foils, & solders available in my shop here: www.mountainwomanproducts.com/product-category/tools-supplies/

@@mountainwomanproducts thank you so much!!! :)

@@laura-annethompson7354 Anytime! I'm happy to help😀

I've had trouble with foil lifting using lead free solder. Which flux is best?

Yay! Thanks!🥰 If you're in a small space & don't have room to keep it on your counter, then the tote is the way to go. If you have counter space to keep it there, I like a short tote or waffle grid to keep the overflow from running out on the table. I use several waffle grids connected to each other to make a 3 sided surround. You can use corrugated plastic too (the same material as those temporary signs you see in people's yards).
