I had a stained glass business for nearly 45 years. Working with lead fumes all around me for such a long time began to take a toll on me. Now is suffer some neurological issues from the lead and my fine motor skills are gone in my left hand. Despite having good ventilation in my shop for all those years, one can not escape the negative impacts of the lead. Then there will be those to tout lead free solder. But, I found that stuff to be garbage and never used it when if first came out. Now, I am retired and watching your video rekindled the desire to start scoring glass again. However, I best leave things alone at this juncture of my life since I don't want to make things worse.

[@ARTyRV]

So sorry to hear of your health issues. We definitely urge folks to have an annual blood test and to avoid toxic fumes. Daily exposure to these toxins is a real danger. Thank you for sharing your experience. Please stay in touch. We’ll be talking about this at the Monday night livestream.

[@almostthere2516]

Consider this if you want to fall back in love with stained glass: Several artists swears that if you find the right kind of lead free solder and flux, it is super easy to work with. Lead free have received a lot of backlash, but as new and better products come out, we see that it is undeserving of its bad reputation. Today, we have small effective desk mounted fume extractors with filter that instantly remove the dangerous fumes from soldering, while some prefer to wear advanced masks that filters the air for dangerous fumes. (Not the types shown here that basically only filters dust and large microbes). Since no one wants to become sterile or senile or have nerve damages, the industry had to rethink everything. Today you can solder without inhaling any toxic fumes. I am sad to here what effect it has had on you, it is sadly the effect everyone will become familiar with if they do not start to rethink what they are using, what they are inhaling, or touching. I do hope you find a way to continue using your artistic skills as using the brain and fingers is so extreme important to everyone, but even more to those that have nerve damages. Finding joy, and quality of life is extremely important when one are facing health issues.

Re ventilation. I have an exhaust fan built into a box the height of the wall cavity that contains the window (don't know the technical words sorry), has a foam seal around the box, and it sits on the window sill. I work with epoxy and had noticed that while the room I work in is ventilated well, I could smell fumes at the other end of the house, even with closing the room door. Since putting the exhaust fan at one window it pulls the air from the room out that window, so airflow comes from inside the house to out that window. Clears the fumes from the room and prevents them entering the rest of the house.

[@ARTyRV]

Yes fumes can travel. Glad you found a solution.

Hi Ed, thanks for this very informative video!

Thank you so much for helping me to learn I love you guys! I could really use some help please. First let me say…I figure your gonna think I’m missing some basics that are causing my issue but I promise you I know how to tin my iron, clean, solder etc. I’ve purchased several irons used the temperature control units always had problems with inconsistent heating. So I shelled out the bucks for a halo fx-601 thinking issues were over BUT… NO! I run temp on 360 however iron is always too hot or gets cold solder starts to bubble on iron or won’t hold a bead I’m so frustrated !!! Thanks to you I’ve learned enough to sale some pieces but this problem is about to make me throw in the towel because soldering is way harder than it should be! Any advice greatly appreciated.

But saw many rrviews onamazon that the temperature doesn't get high enough after few weeks of usage and it's not for larger works... could you please suggest me one?

Do you use rheostat with the weller 100 watt aswell?

Thank you for the question. The Weller 80 or 100 would be the best choice for lead work. Both work great with a rheostat. We do prefer the Hakko for copper foil work. The Hakko comes with a 1/8 tip which is perfect for copper foil.
