Can you file any silver and save dust to solder or melting down actual solder into an ingot then filing? Fine or sterling dust would be easy medium or hard? So i can file say fine silver and use filings mixed with borax and thats solder? Im stupid, sorry!!

There are recipes for different alloy solders. Easy, medium and hard are the main ones used. For filigree I use medium or hard solder. I melt into an ingot and file, collect the filings mix borax with the solder and ready to use!

This is wonderful! Thank you for sharing this. Do you know what the name is for the container you use to shake out the solder powder?

Hello Mark, do you know how making littl e zig zag used in filigree? with little gearing?

@FiligreeArt

Its a small zigzag machine, can be bought from ebay

After you’ve soldered the filigree wires with the powdered solder how do you clean up the piece please? How do you remove any excess solder? Or should all the solder be absorbed into the twists of the filigree wire and not clump anywhere? If you do clean is it with little bristle wheels? I’d really appreciate your help as I have no idea how to clean the filigree piece after soldering this way. Many thanks in advance

Using little solder would suffice without cleaning, it comes with experience. After soldering the item is pickled to remove the flux and oxidisation.
