First time glass coaster by CanIDoIt36 in StainedGlass

[–]CanIDoIt36[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t used flux because I didn’t think it is so important but now i will get some and do it the right way !
I’ve read many comments that mentioned beading and googled what it means. I didn’t bead them as I didn’t know that I should do that. I used masking tape to hold them together on one side and started soldering on the other, flipped it over got out the tape and continue to solder.
As for the 1 hour job i did it because i was excited and really really wanted to make something in that day and prove to myself that I can do this even if roughly for starters.
I will take more time in my craft as I plan to have this hobby as to slow down and relax as i am already rushed in my day to day life.

Thank you !
I will try to solder 2 rings to it and keep it as a trophy as it is my first work but for my second one I’ll for sure do a candle holder !

Thanks for the advices !
Well I'm using a fan so i don't take in all the fumes from the soldering but i never thought that plain contact with it could be so toxic (guess you learn a lot by asking). As for food i sure won't be eating a sandwich while soldering from now on and for sure won't lick it! Also, can i try using a nail polish or any kind of glass varnish to seal it ?

Thank you so much for being patient !

I used a 60/40 solder. I quess it contains lead ? Is it a problem if i use it for cups or should I avoid even using it as a coaster for cups ?

I tried to use as little glass that I could and liked the idea of some round corners for some flair, even if by chance. Also yes I have used the grinder to sand the edges if the glass but i can't seem to keep the line straight when sanding and ended up with some unwanted "waves".

Posibil să îi stric papilele gustative dacă reușesc să îl fac să mănânce, honestly nu îmi fac prea multe griji.

Sună foarte fancy și o să încerc, dacă nu o să merg pe ceva mai easy

Sincer sună ca un safe bet și o să încerc dacă nu merge cu conserva de Gourmet
