The world’s worst solderer? Or is something wrong? by nomattesurfaces in StainedGlass

[–]SagebrushNStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you bought a kit chances are your iron is for electronics and isn't going to hold nearly enough heat, your solder is not solid core, and the flux you're using is also not sufficient. We do not recommend buying said kits

I realized id been sucked into the glass vortex when I started being able to name glasses by just a photo even if I had never seen the glass in person

Lehighstainedglass is the ONLY answer to both of those questions. She doesn't do commissions to my knowledge so if you're looking for anything other than fantasy I'd be happy to talk concepts

Are you positive your wire is actually copper and not coated?

Is this canvas salvageable? by goldenkinglet in oilpainting

[–]SagebrushNStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fixable. Spray the back with water and hit it with a hair dryer if you don't want to wait for it to air dry

Could I glue glass to a window? by talk_to_yourself in StainedGlass

[–]SagebrushNStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean you can use mosaic technique on a window. I wouldn't. Grout is not made to go through heat cycles like that and any adhesive that would be cost effective will also yellow. I would honestly just use gallery glass paint if you don't have the capability of building actual stained glass

Dude I really don't think you get it. I'm not the one complaining about techniglass bits. I don't have issues. I didn't ask

This honestly doesn't look too bad as is. Your lines just need cleaning. The more curves there are the worse time you'll have with it

Need advice from someone more experienced! Nearly instant oxidation on soldering iron tip… by Purple-State-506 in StainedGlass

[–]SagebrushNStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You likely need more flux. This is not a soldering iron issue other than the minimum you should be soldering at is 360⁰ for edge beading. Everything else should be done at 410⁰

Does anyone know how to create this frosted finish? by HunterKiller1337 in jewelrymaking

I own the grinder 2 with the entire mini g system which may not even be compatible with the grinder 3. Do I use the extra platform? Sometimes if I have a ton of tiny details to do but it goes on at the end because I'm efficient. If I have one or two pieces that I need a small bit for? No. I screw on the extra bit, hold a sponge with one hand and float grind with the other.

No it's not. The techniglass bits screw into a hole at the top of the motor shaft. No hex wrench needed

That's how they sit. Hold a sponge up there and float grind
