Pistol Grip Cutter (requires cutting oil) |

Novacan Glass Cutting Oil- 8 oz. |
|
|

Pliers made especially for
stained glass work for long
straight or gently curved score
lines

|
|
|
|
|
|
A combination tool with both a
breaking jaw and a grozing jaw
|
|
|
|
These tools are NOT from your father's tool box. These are especially made for stained glass work and not interchangeable with any other similar-looking tool. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A small metal-handled craft
brush used to brush flux onto the
copper foil just prior to soldering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A chemical whose properties
make it possible for the solder to
stick to the copper foil when heat
from the iron is applied
|
|
|
|
This is the main reason you will be wearing the rubber gloves. It is harsh to your skin. Read the label thoroughly and use only in a well-vented area. |
|
|
|
|
Safety Glasses- Adjustable |
|
|
|
|
Used with or without prescription
glasses, this precaution is a
necessity when working with
glass or soldering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Used during the fluxing and
soldering process to minimize
contact with flux and metals
|
|
|
|
It isn't important whether your choose latex, vinyl or rubber-just something to protect your skin. Dispose of after use. |
|
|
|
|
|
7/32" Silver Backed Copper Foil |
|
|
|
|
Adhesive-backed copper foil
tape placed on the edges of
finished glass used to help hold
the pieces together when solder
is applied
|
|
|
|
You may use copper-backed or black-backed foil if you plan on purchasing and using a similarly-toned patina on the finished solder seams. Otherwise, stick with a silver-backed foil. |
|
|
|
|
Wooden Clothespin Crimper |
|
|
|
|
An inexpensive tool for crimping
& burnishing the copper foil to
the glass
|

|
Mika 100 Watt Studio Pro Combo Iron with Rheostat |
|
|
|
|
A professional soldering iron with
external rheostat. The
instructor's iron of choice
|
|
|
|
If you choose a different soldering iron, please be sure that it is made especially for stained glass. It should be a 100 watt iron with some type of temperature control and a wide (at least 3/16" chisel tip). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A sturdy stand for your soldering
iron with a sponge tray for
cleaning the tip
|
|
|
|
If your iron does not have a sturdy stand, consider investing in safety and purchasing one. The irons are very hot and pose a serious burn/fire hazard. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
A neutralizer to arrest the
corrosive action that flux has on
metal
|
|
|
|
Skipping this step in the final stages of clean-up on your project will create a powdery, dull film on your solder seams. |
|
|
|
|
1Lb. Spool 60/40 Solder (contains lead) |
|
|
|
|
This is a 1 lb. spool of metal that
when melted with your soldering
iron holds all of the pieces
together
|
|
|
|
You may use other types of solder made for stained glass work such as: 50/50, 63-37, or Lead Free. The numbers represent the amount of tin/lead ratios. 60/40 solder will flow easily and melts quickly. Do NOT use a rosin core (electrician's) solder. |
|

|

|
|
|
|
Pre-fab aluminum straight edges

|
|
|
|
A water-cooled electric grinder

|
|
|
|
|
|
A tool usually used to sharpen, is
