Most people have no idea how much work and care is involved making stained glass. You do very beautiful work.

Thanks for sharing your method. I'll give it a try.😊

I am sure this technique will be great for using a patina. Getting a good black is often a strain. But how do you get and keep a good shine to a piece you want to leave with the silver of fresh solder

Beautiful pieces. I'll give the white vinegar a try.

I have never tried this! I will try this because I do struggle with the white mold from the polish Thank you Patricia

I didn't know that patina could be reapplied; game changer. Also like the idea of getting a chemical polish out of my arsenal!

You use the word polishing but are you saying you only use vinegar?

Great video!

Like your vid. But why did you have the blurry bit top and bottom needed a full screen . 🤔

Thank you so much for doing this video!! I’ve been struggling with the same problems and you have given me hope to get my solder lines nice and black with no white residue from the polish🙌🙌 Do you think that older copper foil plays a part in the dull finish, even though the copper foil has never been opened from its original pkg.? Keep sending out great tips! Your videos are so well done! Cindy

Hello, this is a workshop that teaches stained glass in Japan, your work is beautiful

Great video. I'm very interested in how a stained glass piece can be mounted in a wood frame like you have done.

That’s a beautiful piece, did you make the pattern? I’d love the pattern if available

Don’t do the view split when recording please

Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

Your work is very beautiful

Thank you very much I can't wait to try the white vinegar. On another note can you tell us what gloves you are wearing and where you purchased them? Thank you

Thanks! I gonna try this!

Thank you for sharing.

Thank u for showing me ?l could not remove it.now l will not use polish spray again

Your video is very informative, Thank you

Thank you I enjoyed your video. I have one question. If you leave your solder as is and it turns gray with age how do you bring the shine back?

after see your video i was going to use vinegar as you suggested. then I found this online: Do not clean stained glass with an abrasive material as it will remove or scratch the patina on the metal. Never use vinegar, ammonia (e.g., windex) or any acid-based cleanser, as these can destroy the came or solder that is holding the piece. What to do now??

Can't see your work very well, top and bottom half is blurred out, why?

I ask you if when we use lead-free pewter we should use patina. And if it has to be cleaned anyway?

Could the dulling be because of the chemical reaction to the petina? Inoticed you did not wash it off after applying it. I learned that the patina is a chemical reaction and after a few minutes after applying it is to be washed off because it is a chemical reaction not a paint.

When cleaning up an older piece with ugly solder residue, after the initial wipe with white vinegar would it help to use 0000 steel wool, then more vinegar, before applying the new patina?

I prefer to use products made for stained glass.

Thanks for sharing the white vinegar trick. I'm always down for options using household items instead of harsh chemicals. I noticed what appears to be a blue dream catcher with feathers hanging down in the background. Are you a Native American? If not then please google The Arts and Craft Act of 1990 and respect the Indigenous people and their livelihood. I would like to invite everyone else to google that as well. Your work looks awesome!

My water leaves to many marks. So you don’t use polish at all?

Does the white vinegar not have an odour?

Can you use white vinegar as a finishing step on Copper patina also??

A woman said the glass in her work altered because she did not wash it well enough.

Do you still use this method, or do you only use the whiting powder now?

when you patina the piece for the 1st time with the toothbrush do you wash the patina off
