HGMZZQ 60/40 Solder Wire For Stained Glass – 3mm Diameter, 1lb Spool, Solid Core, Melting Point 361°F, No Flux Included

About This Product

This HGMZZQ 60/40 solder wire is specifically made for stained glass projects – and it works great.
It's a 60% tin, 40% lead mix, which is the classic formula that stained glass artists have trusted for years.

The 3mm diameter is a good size – thick enough to lay down a solid bead, but manageable for detail work.
It comes on a 1-pound spool, so you'll have plenty for several projects.
The melting point is 361°F (183°C), which is just right for working with glass without overheating it.

One thing to note: it doesn't have flux in the core, so you'll need to apply your own flux separately for the best results.
That's actually fine for experienced artists who like to control their flux application.

The solder bonds strongly and creates clean, shiny seams that look professional.

It's not for lead-free work or outdoor applications because of the lead content, but for indoor decorative glass art, it's perfect.
A reliable choice for hobbyists and pros alike.

The 60/40 composition gives you a nice balance – it flows smoothly, wets the copper foil or lead came well, and solidifies with a bright, smooth finish.
The no-flux design means you can choose the flux that works best for your style, whether liquid, paste, or gel.

The 3mm diameter is ideal for most stained glass work – it's thick enough to fill gaps but not so thick that it's hard to control.
The melting point is low enough to work with standard soldering irons without burning your glass or foil.
The 1lb spool is a good size – enough for several medium-to-large projects, but not so much that it's bulky to store.

This solder is widely used in the stained glass community for foiled and leaded glass pieces, suncatchers, panels, and 3D objects.
Just remember to work in a well-ventilated area and wash your hands after handling, since it contains lead.
It's a time-tested, reliable product for creating beautiful, lasting glass art.
