Edge Finishing for Stained Glass (adding a beaded edge to a stained glass panel)
Here is a classroom demonstration on how I add a beaded edge to a straight edged project. I am using Solder Wedgies, EZ 40 PLUS Solder flux, and 60/40 solder from Ed Hoy's.
If you are using traditional stained glass flux with zinc chloride, you solder may not behave the same way. You could likely skip the re-flux/'re-dab' steps.

Here, I show how to set a calibrated 8mm round cabochon stone into a fine silver bezel cup of matching size. I am only using a burnisher to do this, as opposed to also using a tool called a bezel pusher. Both ways are effective. I just prefer using one tool.

Can you please make video on how to clean stained glass project after it’s done
Here you are! Just wash with soap and water, then wax! Watch from 5:47. ua-cam.com/video/NOj1qL7479E/v-deo.html Thanks for watching!
Oh gosh I love you!!! You fixed my problems and just let me say there a tons of how to videos and not many that address fixing problems thank you so much! I’m having foil lifts my iron heat is good and I am careful with keeping hands clean. I’m kinda a perfectionist can over burnishing cause foil lift cos I’m sure I do that
Glad I could help! All you need to do to burnish is to make sure you can't *easily* pick the foil off with a fingernail. If it's well- burnished, the foil will take *effort* to come off. ua-cam.com/video/wsyEmIyTzSU/v-deo.html Watch from 6:10, if you've not seen this before :)
SO helpful. Thank you!! Been toying around with brass + copper and was having trouble bonding them together. 1st attempt failed and after watching this I think it's a success!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching! :)
thank you for this video! I just baught yesterday some hit gun burner, my first thought was I should use tin for connections.. however I ended up trying just to heat up 2 pieces of metal wires close to each other and wondering why they wont "stick" 😅 regular metal wires from hardware stores works with tin or that other soldering wire you are melting for connections?
Very good Video. Thank you. A Greet from Germany.😺
Thank you! And thanks for watching! :)
J'aimerais tellement en français !
je suis tellement désolé :(
would it be better to solder the reverse side of the panel first, then just solder the front side after that?
We've discovered that that trick works very well with all flat panel stained glass projects! Set it up face down, tack and solder back side first. Glad you picked up on that. The back side tends to turn out better, then we wish it was the same quality on both. Thanks for the comment, and for watching :)
why you do not use hARD FOAM GUABARY
What is that? Never heard of it!
How can you put stain glass in an aluminum frame?
I've always used zinc, brass or copper only. I think you might have trouble soldering 60/40 tin/lead solder to it. It needs a different type of solder. Might want to look it up before trying.
Thankyou yr knowledge is so helpful 😊
Happy to help! Thanks for watching!
@@LadyBerz Thankyou and they are great tips 😊
Id love to be able to do that but dont have a jewellers torch it looks cool tho 😊
Micro Torch or butane torch works well for *small* projects. Search it up on Riogrande.com or Amazon!
I agree wuth other comments this is the best ive seen on how to do a hinge, Thankyou so much, this looks very medieval and can i ask what the glass is that was used on the top its very silvery, i love it 😊
The mirrored glue chip is a gorgeous glass made by Van Gogh brand. Thanks for watching!
@@LadyBerz Thankyou so much for that, I'm not sure if we can get it in Australia but it's worth searching for, Thankyou.
Hi, what if you just wanted a turtle sun catcher how could you reinforce where the legs meet the body, coukd you foil the pieces separately as normal & then put anoverlay of foil from the edge of body & wrap it around the legs to create a reinforced edge ?
Yes, you can, and it would still be fragile. You can also do the same thing by tacking 18 or 20 gauge copper wire to the outer foil, and edge-finishing it in.
@@LadyBerz Thankyou yes that is a great tip, I'll try that one,thanks once again for yr help 😀
Thankyou for sharing i love a finished edge, do you have any tips on soldering wire onto the edges so they look good & dont rip the foil with solder off if they get moved like, i was making achicken with little wire legs & crest then some started to lift 😊 am i doing something wrong ?
It’s tricky to do. Anything tacked onto edge foil like that is very fragile. Wire soldered to edge foil will rip right off the edges. Try tacking the wire to break lines that meet the edge, rather than to the edge foil itself. This takes a bit of practice (and failed attempts!) to get it right. Keep at it!
@@LadyBerz Thankyou fir yr feedback it's much appreciated 😁
Where can I buy a good copper wire
Hi, You can do a google search to see if your local chain hardware store (lowe's, home depot) has some 14, 16 or 18 gauge spools. Otherwise, amazon, or jewelry supply sites (riogrande.com, fire mountain gems, etc.) are good places to search.
This music makes me insane But thanks for the tutorial!❤
Sorry about that. I just tell people to turn down the volume… I should have chosen more chill background music.
@@LadyBerz don't worry at all, the tutorial is awesome and this is the main point 😄
Your tutorials are the BEST, by far on the internet. Thank you!
Wow, thanks! And thanks for watching!
you just showed all my mistakes I was so flustered at my piece I took it apart 3times and ended with a mess
Keep at it. Stained glass takes practice! You got this :)
Thank you so much for your video. I am new to soldering and have all, ha, of the problems that you covered. I’m praying that I didn’t go over my seams so much that the backing of my foil has come through because I have gone over my seams MANY times in an effort to fix my problems. You have helped tremendously.
You'll know when you see "stuff" creeping out from along your seams. That's the adhesive telling you to stop ;)
Good evening, congratulations on your work, kindly, what kind of solder do you use to solder the copper, I want to do some test Cuban currents using the copper, I soldered with a silfoscoper, but when it comes to twisting, even though I annealed the copper, it breaks in the solder, can you help me? thank you very much
We use Grifflux and Dandix flux. Both are paste types. A quick internet search should give you some places to buy from. Thanks for watching! :)
Don’t you have to re-flux the solder when you go back in to correct it? Or no?
Always! Flux is your friend! :)
Thank you madam for your useful video🎉 if the video had subtitle for none natives that dont understand some words it would be better🎉
So sorry! Google Translate might be a useful tool in your case? I use it a lot! Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you
You're welcome- thanks for watching!
bravo! I love how you explained the why aspect of making your own pattern. Clear for beginner to aspire to do more. Thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Do you have to remove the entire window for one small piece? That seems like it would be a bit extreme and/or more expensive and labor intensive. Especially if it’s a large window.
Yes, it is labor intensive, because most stained glass is installed in front of a plain window. To repair, access from both sides is needed. Maybe there are experts out there who can masterfully do a repair in situ... Most folks leave the small cracks, though. Adds character! Mine had about 8 cracked pieces and a BB hole. I wasn't going to live with that! haha. :)
Some great tips. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I had an old timer teach me that black patina can be taken way back with 0000 steel wool, and that it won't damage the glass. It has to be 4-ought steel wool though!
Yes! We discovered that shortly after this video was made. #0000 is the ticket. Thanks for watching!
So cool!
Thank you! and thanks for watching!
Where do you get your came supplies?
We get stuff from Ed Hoy's International in Illinois. You can get some from Amazon!

What kind of flux are you using? Thank you!!
Grifflux or Dandix paste flux. Thanks for watching!
How do you solder that bezel with the cab set in without messing up the stone?
The empty bezel has to be soldered in place first. Then finishing and polishing is done to the rest of the piece. The last thing to do is what I’m doing here- inserting and setting the stone. Stones cannot handle torch heat. They will either crack or even explode! Thanks for watching:)

I’m so glad! Thanks for watching! :)
Thank you for sharing this, i havent did a panel yet, but have the layouts for when i do, wasnt sure how to line them up straight👏now i do
You’ve got this! :)
I'm with you, I prefer hand foiling also, it's actually relaxing once you get the hang on it☺️
Yaasss! :)
Thank you so much for this video, I've been looking for this information for weeks. Great explanation, clear examples, such a good job
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching! :)
Hi - I have researched this to no end and still have not found an answer. I want to solder a diamond pattern on a large piece of flat glass. I would use copper foil and flux. I want to frame it and hang it in front of a window. Can I do this, or will soldering only work when joining two pieces of glass together? Thanks so much!
Soldering is usually done to connect separate foiled pieces together. If I’m understanding your intent correctly, if you were trying to attach a diamond shape to a flat piece of glass, you’d have to apply foil to that flat glass *and* to the diamond in order for the solder to stick to them both. Problem is, the flat glass is susceptible to heat shock once the iron makes contact with both pieces for a prolonged period. Separate foiled pieces, connected together, like a puzzle (traditional method) is the way to go.
Thank you!
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching! :)
THANK YOU! I'm struggling with edge beading on a lamp shade. Now I'm going to wash it well on both sides and hope that getting all the flux off was my issue! You've taught me so much in 2 years!!!
So happy to hear it! Thank you for watching :)
My 6 panel lamp shade has pulled apart when i was soldering it together at the seams pulling the foil away from glass. Can i reflux and solder? Will it stay?
Clean off the flux as best as you can, use a lot of tape to hold everything back together. Tack the panels back in place. You can push the glass back into the foil, but, you might try using foil to ‘tape’ it back together. Run the foil down the panel seams where the foil already is. Re-flux and re-solder. Hope that helps!
Excellent no matter how many times I see it😄
:) Thank you for watching :)
Shipped a panel to my uncle and the corner broke! This video is definitely helpful, BUT it has a zinc came boarder. Do you have any videos or advise on how to go about replacing the corner piece!?
Unfortunately the zinc came needs to be removed before replacing the piece. The zinc may die in the process, though.:( When shipping, though, use lots and lots of bubble wrap, and a really big box! ( I have some experience with breakage during shipping….)
Thank you! ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for watching :)
You mentioned that you didn't want to remove the solder from the large blue piece. Why is that?
In order for that big blue piece to come out by just trying to melt the solder, you’d have to get that entire seam to be at the melting point all at the same time. It’s not really possible with that big a piece. Breaking the piece out is easier. If it’s a small panel or edge piece, you sometimes can just melt the solder til the piece falls out/off. Just not a panel this size.
