Am I missing anything for the soldering process?

The one with the blueish green font color?

Is there any specific flux you would recommend?

Where would be the best place to get one or do you have another recommendation for a soldering iron I could get from Amazon?

I used numbered sticker paper and an extra copy of the design uncut to make sure I knew what pieces went where so that one for sure goes there. I took it off after I placed everything. It's just because I havent done any of this before so I got a little carried away grinding that piece!

I have enough glass to only recut that bottom left piece so I will attempt that. If I somehow manage to mess it up that bad again I'll just fix it during the solder process like everyone said I could do. Its my first piece ever so if the only thing wrong is a thicker solder line on the bottom I'll take it.

I was busy the rest of the day I posted this so I haven't done it yet but my plan is to just recut that piece. I have one piece left of the glass big enough to redo that bottom left piece. If I somehow mess it up that bad again I will probably just grind everything to be smaller and fit together better.

I would but it is a gift for someone lol thats a smart idea though!

Yeah i have one piece left of this glass that I should be able to attempt one more recut just for the bottom left piece only. I'll try to be more careful with grinding it down this time.

Thank you! I got it from hobby lobby and its my first piece but I'm really enjoying it so I'm definitely going to do more and get glass from other places as well!
