SPRAY CLEANERS

SPRAYWAY GLASS CLEANER

Our favorite spray cleaner. Contains no ammonia and leaves no film behind. The "film" part is especially important for fusers as many other cleaners leave a thin silicone film behind to keep the glass shiny and that's not good for kiln working. We use this cleaner every day in our shop. Sold in generous 19 oz can. No ozone depleting ingredients.

THE SOLUTION

Our favorite special cleaning formula for removing flux before applying patina. THE SOLUTION comes as a concentrated liquid. Dilute up to 32:1, but use at 16:1 for most stained glass work or at 8:1 for heavy paste flux residues. Pleasant citrus scent. 4 oz. bottle makes two quarts of 16:1 solution.

NOVACAN STAIN REMOVER

Every now and then you may come upon a glass that is sensitive to the ingredients in patinas. The front surface may haze or even look lightly iridized. If this ever happens to you, this is the stuff you need to fix it. We have also used this to remove the filmy effect caused by storing glass for long periods wrapped or separated by paper with a high acid content. Very effective stuff. Supplied in an 8 oz bottle.

HELPFUL HINTS
  • NEVER use too much flux! Excess flux trapped in your solder seams will corrode your solder from the inside out, leaving a white, powdery residue. It doesn't matter how often you scrape this corrosion, it always returns because the flux is INSIDE the solder bead.
  • The answer is to use your flux as sparingly as possible. Apply with a Q-tip, if need be!
  • An extra harsh (ie. industrial or sheet metal) flux will give you white powder troubles, no matter how little you use. Be sure your flux is designed to work with stained glass.
  • When used properly, the fluxes on this page won't corrode if promptly washed off your work. Use The Solution, CJ's Flux and Patina Remover or Kwik Clean for removing and neutralizing flux residue.
