Hi Carolyn,

First more information would help.

Is the residue gummy? Describe it.

Second, what brands of foil, flux, patina and solder are you using?

What cleanup procedures are you using on your finished piece?

Is the residue there as soon as you finish the piece or does it develop afterward?: I have been working in stained glass for about 5 years now and have begun to have a problem with a residue left on my finished piece. It runs around each piece close to the foil. I have tried different cleaning agents (Windex, Dawn, 409) to clean the pieces but if I get to rough I destroy the patina. Can you help? What am I doing wrong?
