Tinned Copper is commonly used by stained glass workers, because soft solder flows nicely onto it, making it easy to add tinned-copper embellishments like spirals, swirls and cat whiskers. Even more importantly, tinned copper is used for creating wire loops for hanging, at the tops of suncatchers, stained glass pieces, and soldered-glass pendants. It's a good color match for soft solder and white-plated jewelry findings.
