Step 5Soldering!
Wear safety glasses and long pants (trust me). If you didnt wear gloves when cutting glass, and have cuts on your hands then don't get the flux in the cuts! it hurts...
Ventilation, because any fumes you inhale can't be good.
- Use a soldering iron made for lead soldering...not the electronic soldering iron.
- Use nails to hold your pieces in place
- Brush flux on before you solder. Dont flux the whole thing at one time, do it in small areas. If solder isn't melting and you turned up your iron then add more flux.
- Solder- Just solder over all the copper, its up to you if you want it very flat or want a puffy edge on it.
- Solder Both sides of the glass
- If you are making a butterfly or something and want to add antenna or want to add a hook to something, copper wire works best just add flux and solder. if its not copper, then add the tape first
