On behalf of expertvillage.com, my name is Allison at Western Art Glass. In this step we have finished everything which our hook is left. So I"m going to turn my soldering iron off. I'm going to put that aside. I'm going to keep chemicals away from my soldering iron and keep them on the other side of the table. Make sure that you have used your flux cleaner. You want to neutralize that make sure that you clean it really well. Scrub it. You want to truly make sure that you get all of it. Clean it really really well it makes all the difference in the world. You wipe it all around okay. If you don't have flux remover you can denatured alcohol. So you can find it at your local stain glass store and your hardware store are going to be your favorite place to shop. So you can get your chemicals, supplies, materials, it is all fine. So at this point I'm going this ready I'm going to actually what is called Patina which would change the solder to a copper color. You can do copper, you can do black. But on this one cause I put copper wire around the edge I'm going to copper Patina the inside. So get it all cleaned and in the next step you would Patina. So check it out!
