Amerway Sapphire 60/40 Solder Wire (.125" Diameter, 16 oz Spool) is a premium, high-purity solid core solder designed specifically for stained glass and lead work. It is highly regarded by artisans for creating exceptionally smooth, professional beads due to its narrow melting range and lack of recycled metals.
