Description

Solder is an alloy of tin and lead. The higher the percentage of tin, the longer the solder stays
molten. There are two types of solder at Perth Art Glass, the percentage of tin is indicated first:
60/40 and 50/50. For Copper Foil work, to create a nice smooth bead of solder use 60/40.

 

For Lead Soldering:
50/50 Solder Ribbon Code: SOL50/50R

For Copper Foil Soldering:
60/40 Solder Ribbon Code: SOL60/40R

Solder is a lead product and is therefore harmful to your health if not handled properly. See our Education Page for information about Lead Safety.
