Thanks so much for all your amazing tutorials and for being so supportive to people trying to learn this skill! I have a question about finishing… So, no matter how quickly post soldering I clean the pieces I work with (and when I’m cleaning I rinse with warm water, then use a scrub mummy with dish washing liquid and warm water, then use flux remover… so it’s cleannnnnn)… once I then put patina on (and rinse that off), then polish with the stuff my local glass store sells… I’m still getting that white residue after a day or so - some people call it rot or mould… I’m running out of ideas in terms of how to prevent this from happening. Any suggestions as to how I can prevent this from happening as i don’t want to gift people these items with this issue :(

I`ll have to try the Leponitt Grozing pliers too, besides the small breaking pliers. Thanks.

[@ARTyRV]

They are great!

I've used the Hako iron for a number of years now. I understand the cord is short, I use an extension cord with it. My thinking is if you're using an iron with a reastat that's your extension cord. I set up a small coat hook up to the end of my table to hold extension cord off the floor so not to drag my iron off the table. That's for the grozers showcase.

[@julierickert2145]

Forgot to add the Hako iron comes with a little wrench to turn the reastat knob.

Thanks for sharing!

[@AnnetteRintelmann]

I am going to get them.

[@henrysara7716]

Thank you very much.

[@ARTyRV]

You are welcome!

Get a pair of 6" Fletchers and you can cut a break a thinner strip than any of the ones you show there. I have used them for many years and love them.

[@ARTyRV]

Yes good reliable Fletcher products are a great option but we love the new Silberschnitt Runners too.

Is that a homemade square or is commercial. If commercial, what is the brand and where might it be available for purchase? If self-made do you have a description/video or a set of plans? Thanks!

[@ARTyRV]

We have several here: amzn.to/3Ux0ksb
