7/32″ Copper Back Copper Foil Tape for Stained Glass and Crafts, 2 Rolls 36 Yards Tapes, 4 Plastic Scrapers, Stained Glass Supplies Kit

I’m a total novice so experienced stained glass makers will have to review how this tape works for soldering. I got it to make a decorative edge on some stained glass pieces I’m attaching with glue, while I work up my courage to actually attempt soldering. This tape works great for my use!The copper-black-backed tape is as described. The 1/4 inch width wraps to front and back and creates tiny copper lines, if I’m very careful and my fingers are cooperating. The adhesive is very strong and keeps the tape exactly where I place it, whether I placed it correctly or not. (User error is rampant here in novice land. ;-D ) I can remove my worst mistakes with scraping, and apply a second more accurate layer of tape if the mistake isn’t too bad. The foil comes off the white backing tape smoothly and the tape is more tear-resistant than I expected — still very delicate but doesn’t shred itself when I look at it cross eyed.For my fellow novices who don’t look before they leap, this kind of copper tape is used in stained glass work because solder doesn’t stick to naked glass. The tape provides a solder-receptive edge, and (if I understand the process correctly), the glass pieces soldered together with solder wire (which makes the distinctive borders on stained glass pieces) and this mysterious flux substance helps the solder wire melt and stick. (I’m getting that from watching the plumber on this This Old House tv program in past years, so take it for what it’s worth.) This package of copper foil tape includes tools for soldering — two different shaped scraper tools (for manipulating the solder wire, maybe?) and a brush for applying the magic flux. I have a small welding iron that was marketed as a mini-iron for fabric (and works surprisingly well on cotton seams) so I just need a few more items to start a new craft hobby. As I mentioned, I’m working up my courage.In sum, this tape works great as a decorative edge on glass or plastic mosaic pieces, with strong adhesive and not too fragile for novices to use. There are two large rolls of it, which gives me plenty of tape for making mistakes and re-doing the taping several times. The included tools are tempting me to use the tape for its intended purpose and have another hobby on my long list. I recommend this product!
