If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant.
-Anne Dudley Bradstreet

Following are questions and replies regarding 'soft' or 'lead' soldering. This is the type of soldering that is done in stained glass work but artists are now making great photo charms (find out how here) with the same tools and techniques. If you have any questions, please email Christine Cox.*

I'm no longer taking soldering questions as the spammers have found this page and bombard me daily with junk emails.

Note: I've temporarily taken the FAQ down as I have heaps of new information that I want to weave into the previous FAQs. Please come back soon or keep your eyes on the newsletter for the announcement about the FAQ being back.

Note: The answers on this page are compiled from my own experience and the experience of other teachers, vendors and friends. I cannot take responsibility if you have a problem. Please research your project, techniques and tools thoroughly before beginning.
