Lead is on the Proposition 65 list because it can cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Exposure to lead during pregnancy can affect brain development and cause learning and behavior problems for the child. Exposure to lead can harm the reproductive systems of men and women.
Traditional leaded panes or Tiffany copper foil— lead is a key component is stained glass. No matter the technique, we use lead to solder the seams and hold our glass together. While there are lead-free solder alternatives, we will use leaded solder in class. Why lead?
