Canfield Lead Free Silvergleem Stained Glass Solder Wire - 227g Spool

Lets not kid ourselves, this stuff is expensive compared to other lead-free solder and very expensive compared to leaded solder, but without a doubt I think it is worth the price even for use in moderately sized stained glass projects. Handles amazingly, buffs out shiny and takes (most) patinas well. I've found that it eats away quickly on cheap soldering tips - not sure why that is to be honest, but using a good quality iron and tip it's fine. Cheaper formulations of patina don't take, but good patinas leave a beautifully shiny surface. Essentially you're paying for the quality and need to match that quality with the other tools and materials you're using but in my book it is worth the price.

The most expensive thing I've ever bought and I ummed and arred for a long time before I finally decided to buy it. And then I was highly highly disappointed with it. It doesn't flow and I tried several different fluxes. It just leaves a horrible lumpy finish. The only positive I can give is that I was able to return it for a full refund.
