Soldering Jewelry - Sweat, Flush, or Applique Soldering
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 сен 2015
- Expand your soldering repertoire, add dimension and interest to your work with sweat/applique soldering. Also covered, briefly, in this video, is a form of metal inlay that involves piercing, sweat soldering and the use of the rolling mill. What we didn't show you: I tried an experiment using (easy) paste solder (as an inlay material) in a pierced piece. It didn't work very well. I think it was a combination of the easy solder, with its high zinc content, and a bit too much heat. This caused an "erosion" or alloying of the parent material (the copper). Also: a lot of the solder paste melted and oozed out, from all sides. I used (what I thought was) very little of the paste.

hi nancy, first of all i really love you! your videos and vast information has helped me with numerous 'how to' questions. needed to remember sweat soldering and you once again helped this mentally challenged jeweler. thank you thank you thank you :) would love to take a class on your beautiful rings and amazing bezels. best regards, irena
Thank you for the video! Love your personality, I'd love to make jewelry with you!

You are a hoot to watch, just thought I'd let you know ;) thanks for your lessons!
Thankyou for this very useful lesson and the comedy act!
Hi Nancy. You are totally bonkers but I love you and your tutorials, you are so talented. Your cat looks like mine (he is called Eric).Here in the UK it is sometimes difficult to get the materials that you have available in the USA, but we struggle on............I am new to silver clay, soldering etc, so I am learning a lot from your videos - they are so good but please, don't disappear into another room to do the 'boring' bits, take us with you so that we can see the whole process.
I love you and your Craziness.
Thanks for the great video Nancy! Question: I am going to sweat solder an intricate sterling silver overlay over a solid copper plate. I am concerned that the silver solder may flow outside the boundaries of where it should go, and cover some of the copper where it needs to show through. Any tips to make sure solder stays where it should? For my piece, it's important that the pretty copper doesn't get covered by silver solder.
Thanks so much for sharing your expertise! I get a lot from your videos and appreciate you taking the time to make and post them. I do have a question about this sweat soldering that I am wondering if you can help me out with. I sweat soldered a backing layer onto a bezel that I had created and apparently missed a couple of places on the backing piece so that when I was soldering I got the back a little too warm and it bubbled up as though air was trapped. Is there a way to fix something like that? I have been researching, but found nothing helpful.
thanks Mrs Nancy
beautiful....thank you,Nancy....:):)
+Kremena Venkova Thank you Kremena!
HEEEEELLLLLLLP!!!! Nancy and anyone else who cares to comment....Can you tell me what size flame tip you used in this video? I know your website article states you use primarily a Goss #3. I'm trying to decide if tip size is part of the problem I'm having with a similar applique project- it's a devil getting the solder to flow on a bookmark size piece of appliqued and pierced copper, brass and silver. I'm using a Smith #1 torch tip and no more than two layers of 24 gauge metal; my flux (Cupronil) starts out beautifully but eventually fries up before the solder flows; I get terrible firescale- in some cases after the third attempt to solder my metal is getting pitted. My metal is pickled and scoured with a fiber pad on my flexshaft prior to soldering, I'm having the same problem regardless of the solder, I've used both copper wire solder and silver pallions in varying hardness, after each attempt some areas are soldered or just tacked on and the applique falls off during cleaning (when it's just tacked on I don't quench- I allow the piece to cool gradually). My pieces were pretty flat and when I use my pick to press down any area that raises while heating the other side pops up. The ONLY thing that is substantially different from previous projects is the ambient temperature of my studio- it's winter here in the Colorado mountains and though my studio is heated the room is still colder at this time of year (It's my first winter in this studio space), so the air is cold, my products are cold- untill I hit them with the torch- I just cannot figure it out....
Thank you for sharing, very nice video.. I love your videos... :)
thanks to share
Yes, I'd love to know where to get that big round charcoal block too. Thank you!
+whynot184 Thank Whynot! I got it at Rio Grande Jewelry. Item #: 502030. I love it.
Nancy you're great 😁
Thank you!!!
You are amazing! Wish you were my neighbor!
You are just Fantabulosa!
Nancy - When you did the piece that you ran through the rolling mill (at 2:33min), you used 24g silver and 18g copper?
Thank you, again, for teaching us how to do cool stuff with metal . I have one question: how do we solder thin silver wire to silver sheet with out the solder showing? I want to do design work with small wires on metal with out it looking like a solder fail. :)
Hi, Nancy I can spin and knit cat fur. 😊 you mentioned a while back about embossing machine you saw at a show do you have any info on it?
Nancy do you think a Weller 80watt would work for flat but thick horseshoe nails if you want to solder them together on the sides?
Love your videos, Nancy. Where did you get your round charcoal block? I've never seen one like that before. Thanks!
+Adele Suniga Thanks Adele. I got it at Rio Grande Jewelry. Item #: 502030
How do you solder copper to stainless?
Cool!
The beginning had me like, “yep, I’m still half asleep.” 😅
Did you make the copper pc you sweat soldered, in this video? If so, how? :) TIA
Loved your video... lol
I wonder how you get the solder in the voids where it didn't go the first time without it being visible. I think you said it was a repeat of the first time, but then it was 2 separate pieces. You make me laugh, and you're brilliant! Thank you.
+Silva Oh, and why should it hold water?
+Silva Hi Silva, you pickle, rinse, dry, reflux, careful heat from behind (you don't want the piece your are soldering to "slip" off - when the solder re-melts. The solder is still there, just needs to be coaxed to the edges. In the example in the video, it was a hollow shape. When I put the water into it, it demonstrated that all the edges weren't sealed - because the water leaked out. If all the edges are sealed - no water will escape - meaning that the piece is soldered all the way around. It's an especially good trick with bezels. It's very important to have bezels completely soldered onto their backplates because, they can lift up during the setting process. I've had entire bezel "peel" off while setting, due to all the edges not being soldered. Thanks for the kind words and hope this helps. N
+Silva See my prior answer.
+Oh God, I just read your entire answer, DOH!
This is the first vid of yours ive watched and less then 5 minutes in i had to subscribe. I was crackin up the whole time, your such a funny and bad ass lady!! Super fucking talented too♥
It would be nice to see how you resoldered the piece. I don't know where you place the solder for that.
Sorry to be off topic but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an instagram account??
I was dumb lost the password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Tate Martin Instablaster =)
@Yosef Reese I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im in the hacking process now.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Yosef Reese it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you saved my ass !
@Tate Martin Glad I could help xD
❤
You are so funny 😆 😂🤣
I'm still waiting for the lesson on how to felt cat fur -
+Ardys Otterbacher Hahaha! So, it's really easy. Brush your cats - a lot or clean out the dryer lint trap. Put it into a plastic bag, move it around a bunch and violá - felted fur. I've got a bunch of cat fur "buttons". Gawd knows what to do with them. Thanks.
+Nancy Hamilton I didn't think you'd answer that! ha ha - well, I can collect plenty of that cat fur in my house.
+Ardys Otterbacher Have fun! I just pulled the mother lode out of my dryer. Although, I have stopped collecting it. Thought it was too weird, even for me!
+Ardys Otterbacher Hahahah! Not happening!
Ardys Otterbacher I know and after me confessing as to how I think about my big cat as a pair of slippers and gloves and the little one as a one glove...or a collar..small collar cat lol!
I greet Lady. I am a producer of natural and pressed charcoal from Polish. Natural charcoal contains 2% ash - weight 120 grams.

🌷🌹🌸
I am just so in love with you...
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.....
You get a bell click for that one honey!
Seems like without a mill, Im simply an amateur.
My big ginger cat is a pair of gloves and a hat cat. The little one is only a one glove or a small pair of fingerless gloves cat...you think you're the crazy cat lady...I'm the local crazy fox and cat lady (and I am just joking about the hats and gloves but I wouldn't mind shaving the buggers and doing some felting. ...why is it that your own indoor animals are so picky and moody whereas the feral cats and foxes are always happy to see me?
Soddering???? Am I hearing things?
Soldering!
I love your videos. Are you stoned?
You are wonderful and I learned a lot! 🫶
Fantastic video! LOVE your sense of humor! Thanks for this!
