is it good for stained glass

I have not used it for stained glass but hear it does work well for that. You just need to start with a low temp and gradually increase until you get the result you want. Not sure what temp you require, but the Hakko's range is 392°-896°F.

Hakko's range is 392°-896°F not sure if it is enough for what you are trying to do but this is more geared for the electronics market.

I am not sure this would be a good unit for that high wattage usage. This unit is aimed more at the electronics industry.

Don't know about this unit (the Hakko), but I've done a fair amount of copper-foil stained glass with my temperature-controlled (i.e. same idea as this Hakko) 50 watt Weller iron, and that has worked out really well. I think you don't really need the high wattage that some think, you just need the automatic temperature control which feeds power as it is needed. I haven't used it for came lead, but for Tiffany style it is likely to work well. I suggest you buy it with a broad tip for best heat flow.

For leaded glass or copper foil I'd be looking for 100 Watt+ iron and a nice fat chisel tip.

For caked on stove cleaning, this may not be powerful enough. It does do a decent job on window frames. For porcelain it's great for corners, but I prefer to use scrubbing bubbles or similar. It's just faster and with less preparation. It really excels at wood floors. I'd think it would be good for around the seals of a fridge, etc.

Is it wood? Then yes you can use it. It works best on bare wood, if the wood is already painted or stained it will be less effective.

I know it works on Plexiglass. I have never used it on glass. I would recommend testing it on two small pieces.

This product is great on woods and some plastics. I would agree with Christine. It might work but there are better glues for glass on glass.

i use a small straight edge razor on my glasstop to shave off burned food. then i use this product to scrub. it removes stains and spots and brings a glow and shine to glass tops...but you will need to scrap it off with a razor first....and razors work well and don't scratch the glass top.

This is usable on glass, but, there are other paints made specifically for glass that would be better.

I think it would be okay, but we bought this for a small oil painting (8 x 10) that is not covered in any type of glass and it works just fine. I can not be certain that it would not cause a glare on glass even though I doubt that it would. I am sorry that I am not more help.

I don't know. Sorry I can help you with that. I only use it for glass and plastic etchings.

Havent used it on glass but you can email Anolon and they would be able to help answer your question. Hope that helps. MJ

No, and it should NOT be used on windows at all as the product is alkaline and can etch windows. Use it for all your other surfaces instead.

If you're using it on metal, ceramic, or heavy glass, ok. It'll most likely break a something made out of thin glass.

Sure it will work for that. Obviously, if you have some heavy staining then you may need some type of cleaner to help lift the stain but this will add a lot of agitation power that you just couldn't get by hand. It's only issue would be it doesn't get into tight corners.

I don't know, I've only painted it. I like the product a lot. You might try it out on some scrap wood and see how it does. You can always use it on something else if it does look good stained.

Yes. I have 6 and 8" stained glass pieces in my windows with the smaller ones and have never had one loosen or come off. The only surface I have found that they aren't really secure is a very rough or porous one.

This is a 25 watt soldering iron. This article I found says you need 40-80 watts for stained glass: http://www.walmart.com/c/bg/soldering-iron-buying-guide - so I'd say the answer is no.
