    SAPPHIRE - solder 60/40
    1LB -1 roll
    SAPPHIRE-60/40 is 60% tin and the balance lead. A consistent and smooth flowing solder, 60/40 is the best selling alloy in the stained glass field. It melts at 372 deg F, and solidifies at 361 deg F. The “pasty range” (most solders melt at a higher temperature than they freeze at, the difference between these figures is the pasty range) of 60/40 is smaller than that of 50/50, giving the user a smoother bead.
    ONYX- 50/50 Solder
    1LB - 1 roll
    ONYX- 50/50 Solder, while not as widely used, is often preferred due to it’s lower cost. Since it has a higher melting point(melts at 413 deg F, solidifies at 361 deg F) a bit of extra care is recommended for lead came work. Testing shows that Amerway 50/50 solder has flow characteristics approaching that of 60/40 solder from other makers.
    Emerald - Lead free solder
    1LB- 1 roll
    Emerald Lead free solder is composed of 97% tin and 3% copper. Like many lead free alloys, 97/3 has a higher melting point(445 deg F) and will require use of a hotter iron(or a hotter setting on your iron control than you would with 60/40 solder). It flows similar to 50/50 solder and does a good job of spanning gaps in your work.
