  Application ToolThis super little tool is made from a plastic that prevents the lead surface being scratched. Great for sealing and pressing down the edges of the lead profiles, as well as scoring the lead crossovers which create the solder joint effect. |

  Soldering FluxWithout this product, it will be very difficult to create stunning solder joints. This solder flux prevents metal oxidisation and allows the solder to bond and run evenly. |

  Patination OilA mild oil that is applied directly over the surface of the lead to prevent oxidisation. A bit of a game to apply, but prevents oxides running down the glass, especially in cold damp periods. |
|
 Darkening AgentBy applying this super darkening agent directly to the lead surface, you are able to age the lead by ten years or more. Note this will not prevent the lead surface oxidising. Patination oil should be applied directly over the darkening agent. |

  Soldering IronsMany glass and window crafters attempt to create authentic looking solder joints, directly on to the lead crossovers. It is not easy, but fantastic results can be achieved with a little practice, working with the correct soldering Iron will also help. Using this 100w soldering iron, different styles of solder joints can also be achieved. Works well with the 60/40 solder sticks. |
