Tech support's live chat said to send it in, but that would cost more than just buying a new unit. irritated since this is our multi-region player. thanks |

The old Weller TCP1 irons had heat graded tips -700F seems to be the standard, I've also seen 800F tips. AFAIK: Stained glass windows are held together with plain lead - it requires a much higher temperature than solder. If the iron is as hot as I suspect - it'll probably burn off the flux too quickly. |

I don't know about the big windows, but most of the home built items seem to wrap the edges of the glass with copper foil. |

Tiffany at the turn of the century, involves wrapping the pieces of glass with copper foil and soldering them together along the length of the seams. "Copper foil can be used as an alternative to lead in any instance at the personal preference of the user. It is much stronger than lead when soldered, needs no putty, is waterproof, and allows you to do intricately detailed projects where the bulky look and weight of lead would detract from the aesthetics of a delicate design." According to another page on that site, lead "came" (channel) sometimes comes with a hollow heart into which steel rod can be inserted, to increase its strength. Zinc channels are sometimes used for the same reason. |

Just looking at it causes all kinds of problems so they say. The solder would have to be lead free too. I did see on one of the web pages that sells the equipment can not send the 50/50 solder to one state and have to send the lead free or maybe the 60/40 type. |
