  • There are plenty of methods of soldering and all are right but there are ways to solder that are better than others. So which way is the best? Depends on the scenario. So in this situation which way is best?
    Plenty of hints and tips to be learnt in this film. Don't forget to stick around for the bloopers.

    can never have enough soldering videos, it's something i'm struggling with, i've only just started smithing :) Thank you for your videos!

    Love the video proof, I've been trying to explain what I call solder ghosts. Solder is sentimental, it leaves it's ghost when it moves to its preferred location. Don't melt it any place you don't want ghosts! Like you, I dig soldering, always some fun to be had with hot stuff!

  • @juliepeck6915
    @juliepeck6915 4 года назад +1

    Love this!! I totally agree 100% !! I kinda figured this out along the way. It really does cut down on the clean up time. And I prefer the second one or the sweat soldering.

    Thanks to the inspiration I got from your videos 3 years ago I have learned so much and I'm still very interested in jewelry making and enjoy it as a hobby (albeit an expensive hobby - LOL!). With that said, your soldering videos have been most beneficial and gave me the confidence to try in the beginning; therefore, I often revisit them... especially after a rather lengthy hiatus. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and skills! 🙂

    A bit of sellotape burnished up against the protective plastic coating and pulled sharply helps to remove the coating more easily

    Awesome thanks, it seems to me as someone who has done much brazing and silver soldering in a structural sense, don’t worry about clean up to much but still think of myself as capable of getting good results. However jewellery is much more visually demanding and therefore requires different techniques thanks heaps

    I'm a techie just getting into this hobbies. One of my favorite things about electronics is soldering. In pcb soldering I tend to prefer this method as well, or at least a variant. We call it "tining".

  • @jpavlicek1
    @jpavlicek1 4 года назад +2

    I use that technique alot and like it especially when afixing tube mounting posts on pre-enameled pieces......Question though....do you notice ever that the base metal adsorbs solder alloys on the surface making removal even more difficult? Also when sweating large Ag elements to copper or brass and using hard or medium solder, things get tricky....2 torches....very carefully..
    all appreciated..thanks

    Hello Andrew! Thank you for your videos. Your attention to detail is wonderful. QUESTION. Where do you buy your borax cone? I love Rio, but I tried to use their cone and it just crumbles like stuck together salt cubes. I have to use a metal spoon to mash down the borax because when I gently try to use the cone, big chunks come off. Help! Thanks, mate.

    Hidey Ho Andrew, love these videos. Why do we do the wrong thing when struggling with soldering? As if that’s not bad enough, i insist on repeating the same failed attempt expecting it to magically work this i time

  • @Mark_L

    Would using a bit of wire solder work better as it would be just at the fine space between the wire and surface?

  • @kimestes5984
    @kimestes5984 4 года назад

    Just curious on your thoughts...
    In the electronics mfg business years and years ago... we tinned (or soldered) the wires first in a small solder pot before the wires were soldered to pc boards.
    Wouldn’t this leave even less flow o your piece?

  • @Aikidobear129
    @Aikidobear129 Год назад

    Love the bloopers at the end- unfortunately for me that's how my entire silver soldering goes from beginning to end :) I noticed that you pickled the wire after melting the solder on to it and then re-melted it onto the plate- is that a necessary step? And if so why?

  • @RejPoirier
    @RejPoirier 4 года назад +1

    Another helpful tutorial Andrew, thanks. Question from a newb: Would this not be a case where wire solder is better than flat pallions? Bits of solder wire could be placed parallel to the ear wire and would flow right in as soon as conditions were hot enough?

    • @garethbaus5471
      @garethbaus5471 2 года назад +1

      You would need some extremely narrow solder wire if you want to avoid wasting large amounts of solder, but it definitely could create an extremely consistent joint.

  • @MarcoJetti
    @MarcoJetti Месяц назад

    With the second method, I was wondering why you don’t get oxidation of the wire just after the first solder? Shouldn’t be a must to pickle it before soldering again? I know it worked but why? Can someone explain how the flux is protecting twice the wire?

  • @jeejee825
    @jeejee825 4 года назад

    I have a question. You are using borax and flux together, right? Is there a specific reason for that? I only used flux until now and I'm curious what does the borax does.

    • @Atthebench
      @Atthebench  4 года назад +3

      Hi. The borax is flux. We use it in its cone form and rub it with some water on an unglazed dish to make a paste

  • @gestaltlabart
    @gestaltlabart 4 года назад

    solder flows everywhere you put flux - if you put the borax not everywhere on the disc, but only on the places where you want solder, you can avoid the additional steps and have the same result.

    • @Atthebench
      @Atthebench  4 года назад +6

      Some people use flux as a fire scale preventative too

      Depends on which way the solder flows first
