My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Stained glass question?

12 years ago

Can anyone tell me if they really notice the difference in brands of solder (60/40) used for stained glass. I have just always used what was available at my local stained glass supply store. I have found some less expensive solder (not necessarily cheaper) on ebay and wonder what the difference in quality is. Is it a matter of impurities or how it looks when it finished? Please give me any of your opinions or experiences in using different brands of solder.
