Stained Glass: Your Ultimate Shopping List

By: Amanda Maseko

What I have is a good list of items you can use for stained glass art for beginners and advanced artists.

Cutting Oil- This helps to reduce friction allowing a smoother cut and also keeps glass debris from encumbering the cutting wheel's progress.

Sal Ammoniac- This is soldering iron tip cleaner made from a naturally occurring mineral that reacts to the heat of the soldering iron and removes debris when the iron is gently rubbed on it.

Flux Brush- A very inexpensive brush used to apply the flux.

Grozing Pliers- These pliers have narrow, serrated jaws for picking up small chucks of glass and can be used to remove uneven or jagged pieces of stained glass after cutting.

Needle Nose Pliers- A good all around tool to keep handy, can be used for small detail work.

Electric Glass Grinder- A bit more luxurious way to smooth the glass edges; this is a machine that will do the job faster and more efficiently. This is definitely nice, but optional.

Lead Vise- Holds the lead came in place to allow it to be stretched before use.

Lead Cames- The original choice in stained glass support systems. These come as long strips of lead with grooves or channels on either one side or both, depending on whether it is to be used as an inside or outer edge piece of the stained glass.

This is just the common list to get you going with your art.
