Solder

Solder is a relatively low melting temperature, soft metal alloy. Solder is used at every Joint of a project to bind two or more parts together. Leaded Glass uses two primary types of solder, Leaded Solder and Lead Free Solder.

Put some images here comparing lead free with leaded solders on finished works.

Lead Free vs Leaded Solder

Regarding a finished project there's little difference in leaded or lead free solders, their main differences come in their workability and melting temperatures. Most lead free solders are harder to work with as they require higher melting temperatures and the transition window between a liquid to solid is smaller. Lead free solders are also harder due to the lack of lead used in the alloy thus can cause increased Joint Stress issues in Came.

What solder you use is mostly up to your own desires except when something is being made to be handled, lead free solder should be used here though isn't absolutely required.
