Once again. Great video

I love soldering!

Thank you .

thanks looooove this...just what i was looking for

This is super cool! I want to try it!

I never tire of watching this tutorial, I’m getting better every time. This technique is so forgiving and I’m really close to taking to the delightful shop that is kind enough to take my work. Thank you !

I love this. I was thinking of different ways to add beauty to my jewelry using wire and found you. Great video and tips. New subscriber mtow❤

Hello Loved the video! May I make a suggestion? Instead of using newspaper to work on may I suggest a piece of drywall. It handles the heat better without possibly burning.

@LauraBethLove

Ай бұрын

I actually work on a fireproof soldering mat in my workshop! But I did this video at home and the newspaper is for use with the liquid flux so it does not splatter everywhere; it absorbs the extra liquid flux and as I work for a while it saturates the paper and makes it wet - it scorches here due to the technique. I'm an old timer believe it or not and when I began my career making stained glass 30 years ago we did not even have such a thing as soldering mats! But good of you to point that out for everyone else!

I never knew about this. I love it.. Good to try and do it. For the solder gun can I use my little touch I use for making jewelry?

Wow this is so cool! Can I ask when looking for stamps do I just type in vulcanised red rubber stamp? There only seem to be a few designs that come up. Maybe I'm not searching the right term? Thanks!

Ive started my journey making jewlery and have used youe videos to learn so much, also getting your books soon! I did have a question, does soft solder jewlery smell bad for a time ? I used lead free solder but jve noticed a strong bad smell on my jewlery until a couole weeks pass and then the smell is gone. Is this normal? I cant find the answer anywhere

Is there a recommendation for a dual side application technique? I would imagine while duplicating the technique on the reverse side that the underside would be altered due to the high temp level. Is there a tip that you can suggest?

I am having the hardest time trying to get the solder to stick on copper wire, washers and stamping discs. I peeled off the plastic, I've ruffed them up with steel wool, wiped them with alcohol, used a clean iron - well heated and the solder turns into a ball on the flux and doesn't stick. I love the look of this technique and have watched your videos, especially this one, numerous times. I'm ready to give up. Can you please give me any other ideas to try to make it work? Thank you so much. I have the BOHO book too. I hesitate to try anything because I'm so frustrated.

Try heating the copper thoroughly first, hold the tip of the iron on it and let it get nice and hot and use enough flux

What temp for iron ?? I am having terrible time getting the solder to adhere to my metal. Could my flux be too old?? My sister passed on her supplies about 3yr since used. Also searched Amazon for red stamps. There are stamps, brand name “ Red Stamp “ is this what I need. Solder is new, just bought. Have watched tutorials on tinning my tip. May buy new one, could that be the problem ?? Thank you if you have time to reply. I’ll try not to pester you !
