Please see individual product descriptions for more information about each item in the kit. We use quality materials, Edco Copper Foil and Full Size Novacan brand chemicals in our kit and do not provide substandard beginners versions. We want to ensure that you are happy with your purchase and go on to make lots of stained glass!
The Hakko iron allows you to control the temperature and can be adjusted on the handle, it is light weight an very reliable. This reduces the tendency to melt the lead came if you progress from foil to leaded work. The iron can be turned down to prevent the lead came melting or turned up hotter if you find the solder isnt flowing fast enough for your technique. Or where you are using the iron more, for example when copper foiling which uses long solder joints. We recommend setting your Hakko at 410 or higher for foil work.
Why not add some extra coloured glass to ship free alongside your kit, our selection packs are a great place to start click here to view

All looks good
By Charlotte GlasspoolOrdered the copper foiling starter kit after attending a taster day. Parcel arrived as expected the next day with everything very neatly and safely packaged inside, and included a free small glass sample.
I can’t comment on the individual items yet as I haven’t had chance to sort out my set up and use them all but service has been swift and reliable and I’m really looking forward to trying everything out and placing another order soon! - * * * * *26/07/2023
Copper foiling starter kit
By Rebecca MitchelmoreI bought this starter kit a few weeks ago and have enjoyed using it. The essential tools are included, though I added running pliers as an extra, as my hands aren't good. I've made several small blobby items as learning exercises, then shopped for more glass, and I am working on the first proper project. Very successful purchase so far :-)
(Very prompt delivery and good packaging too.)
