With copper patina, you also have to apply it IMMEDIATELY after you finish soldering (and washing of course). The longer you wait, the worse the patina will look.
Interesting and good tip to hear. May I ask “how so”? I’m curious what exactly happens/what changes with the appearance and outcome the longer the wait time is. I’m very intrigued so I’m excited to read your response and learn the answer here! Heh…thanks!! 🤗
@@madelinewhitney832I’m not entirely sure but I have taken some chemistry so I could have somewhat of an answer for you. Basically, the longer you wait, the longer the outer layer of the solder is exposed to the air. This gives it more time to react with the surrounding oxygen in the air, causing a layer of oxidized metal to form. Because it is no longer “pure”, the patina can only react with the oxidized parts rather than the actual solder, resulting in a worse result. This may not be right but hopefully this helps??
It's probable also the reason the waxing was needed, it gives the solder more time before it gets oxidized. It also doesn't hurt that may help even out the contact with the Patina. @@romaash5432
I wonder if applying the wax right after soldering would extend the time you have to work? How long can wax hold off the degradation by air, I wonder? Maybe that’s why people say to apply wax first (which I otherwise can’t see the point of doing) - what they really mean is apply the wax before you patina, and right after you solder.
No, they cannot. They have a hardness of 4.4 of the Mohs scale, where glass (regular) is 5.5. Tempered glass is even stronger. I’ve been a housekeeper for almost a decade and never scratched glass with a magic eraser. It cleans off hard water spots from glass with ease without harming it.
@@polytoxedwhat do u use to get the film off that magic erasers leaves behind? Cuz that’s what happens when I clean my glass top stove, I use a dry paper towel after, but it leaves like a gritty residue.
Beautiful! Love the idea of doing copper more often… I’ve always wondered why the black patina is seemingly such a go to choice. …at least from what I’ve seen/learned so far, that is! (I’m basically a beginner, so can’t say much lol). Glad I just found you/your channel on here!! Looking forward to going through your page to see your past posts bc what I’ve caught so far definitely has caught my eye and interest. Also, definitely excited about getting to see your new posts as well, as time goes on & they roll out :) Thanks for sharing :) cheers~
Whenever she posts clips of pieces with the regular silver solder, people comment that they liked it better before she put the solder, with the copper tape, and wished she had copper solder. Can’t win 😂
@@richardparadox163also mentioning things like this gives her content ideas in what her viewers would like to see. nothing wrong with liking things differently and nothing wrong with mentioning how you like it. I work in a daycare with 40+ children they all like the same things done differently and that's okay. 😊
As a welder I love watching solder, its as if the metal just wants to work with ya (Unlike welding on stainless steel where the liquid metal moves around like a glob of hardened wax)
I love it copper but you definitely should make a silver one like the way it looked before that look is my favorite and it would match my room😂🫶🏼I’d buy it
Your soldering skills are absolutely amazing, as a technician that relies on others soldering to be good, you've got experience I only see in ppl with years of experience. Now, I'm not saying you should change careers (the art is INSANELY GOOD) but should you ever want to put together circuit boards for custom jobs, there's no way they wouldn't take you.
I personally prefer the silver look cause it vibes better with the cold colors I feel but the copper look is ok. Maybe a bit havy on the orange but its ur work so after all u gotta like it.
Omg thank you for sharing!!! I’ve seen so many stained glass shorts and they always look so pretty in copper before the soldering. I’m so happy to see that copper finish is possible.
I love love love the Copper! It brings color and personality to the stained glass. It truly allows the colors and design to stand out as if they have a Beautiful frame around them. ❤❤❤
Oh my god have I been waiting for this!! Every time I see the work before it's been soldered I think it looks so lovely with the copper colour, and often get disappointed (initially) when it's covered with the silver (I grow to like it with the silver quickly regardless) -( just wish a copper version existed also) :)so really glad to see this
OOOO i didn't know there was a method to apply copper to solder, i watch a lot of stained glass content and i find myself usually disappointed by the coper tape being covered by the solder. The coper is especially beautiful with the greens in this design 😍
personally, I much prefer the look of black oxidised solder for almost any stained glass; my aesthetic tastes are pretty strongly set. but this is really beautiful and finely made, and the colours are so nice together.
It’s so pretty! I think with this piece though the sliver looks better with the color scheme going on but with warmer toned colors it would look so delicious 👌🏼
Your soldering is SO SMOOTH OMG!!! It’s like seamless I could never guess where you started!! So satisfying to watch but I’m guessing even more satisfying on finished products!
My grandfather did stained glass like that for many years. He actually had a workshop designed in the dream home he and my grandmother built when I was very little. He was also an art teacher and taught many other people how to do stained glass and when he passed they donated his unused supplies to the classroom. This little video reminded me of him and for that I am very grateful. Thank you.
Loving the new shorts Johnathan! They have been great. I love that you address that what’s most important is being able to build the routines and adapt them. Life is constantly changing. Looking forward to making my own new routines since I’ve had some big life changes recently.

@@romaash5432flash wash with muriatic, and off the substance patinas the copper why would an oxide layer retard that?

Thank you!
Sooooo much nicer
Stunningly Beautiful 🤷🏾♀️🤗
Better???!!! Don't you realize how gorgeous and neat it looks?? It's outstanding girl!!! Congratulations!!!
I love both! Beautiful!
I want one 😢
I wouldn’t say neat, unless you wear glasses there are a bunch of easily spotted blemishes and overfills
@@steamaccount2651 I respect your opinion as you respect mine
Omg this rose gold color is so pretty 😭
It's the copper colour
Homie that’s copper lmao
@@Momoganoand how do you think rose gold is made dude
@@silverrose2971 By mixing the copper colour with other elements? Not just the copper alone g.
@@silverrose2971not with just copper, genius
i loveee the copper finish on your glass projects. You're so talenteddd
YESSSS THIS IS WHAT IVE BEEN WANTING MY WHOLE LIFE! the copper is GORGEOSU
That's so pretty! It makes the whole piece feel so much warmer than the silver look!
I LOVE the copper with the green glass! It’d also look lovely with blue 🤩
I've seen a lot of videos like this. Your design and color palettes are the best.
Thank you! This design is by Linebaugh Studios!
quick word of warning, magic erasers are abrasive and can fog glass up with scratches

@polytoxed I've accidently scratched acrylic before thinking it was glass😂
@@polytoxed that’s a true professional right there 👏👏👏
@@heehoopeanut420 that’s a good point! It can scratch acrylic!

I love it! I've often lamented that the c copper foil around the stained glass pieces is covered by the silver solder
Me too!!!
Same!
Ditto! This looks so pretty
copper gives it a whole new look!
it's the warmth of the copper

Thank you so much! I appreciate it 😊
This looks great, i think I'd want the copper each time, it adds a level of warmth to the peice, when compared with the natutal silvery metal
完成も好きだけど、完成前のオレンジ色も綺麗だと思ってたから嬉しい！
I actually liked it better before the patina. The silver of the prep was beautiful with colors of the glass.
Same
Yep

It is BEAUTIFUL with the copper. It makes the line green and teal really pop out at you.
Love your version of this design 😍, what a wonderful crossover, your colour palettes make me feel cozy and happy.
Thank you so much! 😊
I LOVE it! I wasn't aware there was a way to bring it back to looking coppery. So pretty!
How lovely! The greens and coppers are such a refined pairing ❤
As a redhead, granted it's leaning more toward ...not so red as I'm getting older 😑, I love copper with those greens. Green is my favorite color 💚
😂 just realized I'm sitting here in a green shirt. 🙌🏼 Under a green blanket. Yep.
Absolutely beautiful!!! Loveeee the copper over the silver
Finally someone that does the copper version... I love it ❤❤❤
I love it copper but you definitely should make a silver one like the way it looked before that look is my favorite and it would match my room😂🫶🏼I’d buy it
The copper makes your project pop ❤
It does! 💞
I love it!! It looks more compelling compares to the silver one imo 😊
So pretty, both finishes looked great on this piece! But the patina was turned out wonderful!
This is so beautiful, I love how it looks much more than the silver on this piece.
OMG that's BEAUTIFUL....i've always loved how your stained glass looks before you solder.....love this look
I love the pinkish hue it has, so pretty!
the copper flatters the green glass a lot more. This is beautiful!
It looks gorgeous 😍
You've certainly peaked my interest in the craft as a whole 🤔
If i have the chance, I think I'd give it a try 🦋

The copper fits the piece perfectly, agree it looks much warmer ❤
This copper bronze look is so much better than the sliver look! Love it!
I really like the silver look on it too 😍
I absolutely LOVE the warms it gives the piece. i personally love gold and kinda dislike silver so the copper looks 10x better to me
copper finish is absolutely perfect
I personally prefer the silver look cause it vibes better with the cold colors I feel but the copper look is ok. Maybe a bit havy on the orange but its ur work so after all u gotta like it.
I love that people like you are still doing stained glass. Don't let it die. ❤️
OMG SO BEAUTIFUL
It looks SOO GOOD with copper, I didn't realize it was an extra step to color it
Thank you!!
SO pretty
absolutely stunning, the copper compliments the warm grens much better than the silver does
Oh my gosh YES 😍
Great soldering, I love the malachite green glass with the copper patina. Stunner!
Beautiful!
Very nice work! I loved watching Vicky Payne growing up. She was so soothing. This was very relaxing and brought back some nice memories 😊

Thank you!!
I think it looks even better this way!!! That color!!
Oh man! That looks soooo good with the pearlescent shine in the white background! Just lovely!
Your soldering is SO smooth!!!
The copper is so pretty. Not bad for a first try.
Thank you!

It’s really gorgeous!! Your soldering is immaculate!! I’m very impressed!! Bravo!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
The copper makes the green light up! Is beautiful and warm and lovely
It looks so pretty especially with that design!
So pretty! It looks pinkish!
i love that everyone in your comments is happy about it ♡ i prefer silver any day, but it looks good and i am happy you learned a new skill!!
thank you so much! ☺️

THE COPPER IS STUNNING OMG
the copper complements the blue and green soooo well
You’re so good with that soldering iron it’s a treat to watch
The copper really brightens the colours
I'm happy to see this exists. I've only ever seen the silver or black.
I ADORE this piece!!! All of the deisgn choices youve made for a moth theme are so beautiful

Omg that's so incredibly beautiful, I love the copper with this design! It really balances nicely with the cool glass colors ❤
I'm glad to see you finally try the copper patina. Its certainly my favorite when I make suncatchers.

Beautiful! Girl! Your skill level has truly blossomed!! 🥰
LOVE the copper on this piece!
It’s so pretty
Yessss, this is exactly what I've been wanting to see. I thought it couldn't be done. It's so, so beautiful, you simply must do more like this
So beautiful. You make music with your art ❤
It’s so beautiful with the copper!
They are both - with & without - are beautiful!
The copper looks sooo good
This design is so pretty! I want it!!!
WOW THATS AMAZING 🤩
Much more beautiful than than before
