How To Do Easy Decorative Soldering Techniques

Delphi instructor Roy Kapp, guides viewers through several easy decorative soldering techniques. He demonstrates techniques using both large and small soldering iron tips and discuss methods used for flat projects as well as three-dimensional stained glass works. www.delphiglass...

I have been creating stained glass pieces for a long time, but I just learned some new techniques! I've always enjoyed using globs for decoration. Can't wait to try these.

I like making soldered shadowbox jewelry charms and pendants, but I spend way too much time trying to get the soldered seams perfectly smooth. I don't even bother making dots as I can't get them evenly spaced. LOVE the hammered and sponged techniques 'cuz they look imperfect and textured on purpose. May have to start doing that in lieu of trying to make smooth seams. TFS!

[@editingreality4779]

Michelle's Paper Creations don't worry about having even spaces between the dots, it shows a unique piece and I actually like the dots being all random alot better.

[@7spiritualcompass706]

I have a flat solder and one with a point. I have never used them and have no idea how to use them. Do you have a tutorial video on this and supplies you may need for either one? Loved the techniques you showed on this vid. Thank you for sharing. 👍

[@jillduell2122]

And by the way to those who were upset with your pronunciation of solder (which happens to be the same way I pronounce it). The Merriam Webster dictionary shows both being appropriate and the way you say it is the American typical and the way the complainers are suggesting is the typical British pronunciation. To each his own!

[@lindahobster7480]

the language is English not British and Americans pronounce soldier the same way as the English do so why is solder different?

[@matildaandgabe]

I would have loved to have seen the result of the sponge dabbing technique. Is it possible to post a picture of it here? Thanks for your instruction😀

Hi Roy! Great video! Thank you! One question I have is can you do the decorative soldering technique with the 63/37 on top of 60/40? I have a large piece I have already soldered with 60/40 and would love to add the decorative dots.

[@DelphiGlass]

+Jill Duell Yes, you can do the decorative soldering with 63/37 over previously soldered 60/40 or even 50/50. You will want to make sure that the original solder is clean and hasn’t oxidized too much. You can clean the solder with a flux remover and a scrub brush. Any oxidation can be removed with a very fine steel wool. You will want to lightly flux your solder seams and then you should be ready to use the decorative soldering techniques. Good luck!

heyy...tell me how to make dat spiral wall hanging behind roy kapp...really luved it,

Appreciate this video very much.

[@seanavery73]

Thanks for the video. Is it possible to apply the same techniques you used on the box to the flat piece?

[@Bluffton3]

What about the temperature of the iron? Cooler or hotter than 360?

[@DelphiGlass]

+Bluffton3 The temperature of the iron depends on the specific decorative soldering technique. Some techniques require a cooler iron while others need a hot iron (700 degrees or hotter). 360 degrees is on the very low end of melting certain solders (63/37) and we usually work hotter than that. Depending on the technique you're trying you should experiment with different temperatures.

[@commandermacara]

Hi, what is the make of the black soldering iron and rheostat please, I cannot see it on your website.

[@DelphiGlass]

+commandermacara The black handle soldering iron is one that we no longer carry. The manufacturer no longer makes it. They have replaced it with this iron: www.delphiglass.com/soldering-supplies/soldering-irons-tips/hakko-fx-601-soldering-iron This iron has a built in temperature control so it does not need the rheostat. This iron replaces the black handled iron and the rheostat. The Hakko FX-601 can do anything that the older one could do. The rheostat that was used is this one: www.delphiglass.com/soldering-supplies/soldering-irons-tips/mika-tempright-temperature-controller

[@commandermacara]

thankyou for the response!

[@krebbyzkydzfantasyart7311]

I see you used no flux?

[@natileecosine1294]

Can I soder on any surface? Will it stick, then afterwards, resin the blank spaces

[@erichernandez9182]

90% of you are pcb hobbies trying to learn wtf...instead of holy shht.... haha

[@carleenpring3404]

I know this may sound rude, but am I hearing him say sodder as opposed to solder? Is it an accent thing that is causing me to hear the word sodder?

[@vickyvavaroutsos5441]

The one with the nicks and balls of solder looks like coral. It would be great for a bathroom.

[@saltlifegull4091]

Awesome video, good teacher and lots of great tips/info. I'm hooked! Keep up the great work.

[@a59yankee]

Thanks for the video. Could you please tell us specifically what size the soldering iron tips are that you're using?

[@suedonnenwirth3269]

Thanks for the demo, can’t wait to try 😊

[@editingreality4779]

Really enjoyed this great example of unique ways to solder. I sure wish I had gotten a chance to stop by your business, I lived in Jackson, Michigan now I live in the U.P, so alot further away.

[@thedogwoodwitch]

Thank you for this!! im wondering how one would get that nice crescent moon fan shape like a coin on top of a coin (kind of like a nice weld bead), should the iron be at a low temp? if so, what temp do you recommend?

[@juyelahmed712]

খুব সহজ, আমি 5 বছর কাজ করছি।

[@theresevarney4715]

I noticed you didn't use flux. Is that correct?

[@nygrl6102]

If I'm getting sharp points is my iron too hot or too cool?

[@juliesilvasy9490]

I am trying to find something that will help me with the following: My pattern is a wolf. With this pattern the eyes have black around the eye color and pupil along with the black for the nostrils. How do I handle this to get the correct look

[@davisx2002]

right on

[@TheApplecorps123]

Nicely done, as always, Mr. K!

[@KS1961KS]

Very nice!

[@windsea1038]

Thank-you😄

[@mikealman63tab]

I hate to be negative but I had to stop watching the video as I couldn't stand listening to you say soddering instead of soldering, my "issue" I know lol but that said, I'm still grateful that people like you take the time to post such informative videos an I will work on my tolerance levels lol.

[@CuzKatieSaysSo]

What ARE you talking about - the "L" is silent.

[@mikealman63tab]

CuzKatieSaysSo ONLY in America !

[@christinekoelsch2590]

Hey Mika say it 3 times fast it will come out as soddering....also depends on what part of the country one is from (accent) thank goodness someone does videos like this, does give some helpful hints....Have a great day!

[@christinekoelsch2590]

one more thing, as I stated accents make a difference if it was from Boston,it would be "sauda"...

[@mikealman63tab]

Thanks Christine, you'll be pleased to know that after many hours of intense therapy I'm able to cope with the S word now LOL, I am, however, currently saving up for the therapy sessions re, ALUMINUM v ALUMINIUM :-O Have a lovely day and hope your far from the atrocious weather being reported in many parts of the US.

[@unclearthur68]

Stop callaing it sodder!

[@medusasaurus1447]

Andrew Kelly That's how you say it in American english- dummy.

[@maggienightingale1565]
