Do I understand right that initially there was no need to cut the ring and then solder it back? That it was possible just to relieve the strain by first annealing the ring and then adjust the size by hammering it on a mandrel? Thanks for sharing!
Yea so the ring was a 10.25 needed to go to 11. Normally you would need to add gold however for some reason when I cut the ring it had a lot of tension built up so when I cut the ring without doing anything it opened up to 10.75 almost 11 so no need to add gold so since the tension was released and it was close to 11 just weld it back together at the 10.75 and finish getting it to 11. Now had there been no tension and when we cut the ring it was still at 10.25 then we definitely would of needed to add gold hope that makes sense thanks for watching G.
