Beginner Stained Glass Tip #1 - Black Patina

Soldering in stained glass is one of those skills that gets better with every single project so don't be discouraged if your panel doesn't look as good as you had hoped for. A great tip I tell my students is to use black patina on their projects until they get more gefortable with their soldering. The black patina will hide any mistakes you've made and it will separate each piece of glass and really make it pop!When applying black patina, I use a cheap, generic toothbrush.Then, rinse off with hot water and finally polish with Kem-O-Pro. Your work will instantly look like you've been doing glass for years!
