I started out doing regular stained glass windows a while back, so I have a heavy-duty iron for long use. It's a Weller. If you are using silver solder (definitely want lead-free if you are making things for next to skin or handling a lot) the melting temperature is lower. You can get a rheostat to control the temperatures, that helps. Get the best quality you can afford, it will pay off in the long run by lasting a long time. Let me know what you come up with!

When you have hot soldering irons, kilns and torches around, buckets of water and fire extinguishers just seem handy!<BR/><BR/>But some were from experience. Having clean ice water nearby for minor burns. That has happened to be helpful.<BR/><BR/>And some are because of self-awareness - like leaving a light turned on until everything else is off. Memory aids are learned that way!LLYYNN - Lynn Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11538418994323990630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3212636362424974677.post-83727703208373420472008-01-16T21:52:00.000-06:002008-01-16T21:52:00.000-06:00Sounds like some of these rules were learned by ex...Sounds like some of these rules were learned by experience.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
