Thank you for inserting the clips of demonstrating how you apply ( both dipping and/spraying) - and explaining that it is not necessary to pickle after- more of a preference…that was my biggest question was if it’s called”self pickling” does that mean I should not pickle after? Your explanation of what the built in “selfpickling “ is doing to protect from fire scale and stain ( another good explanation for this newly smither) as it is being heated so not necessary when solder has run to further pickle…your video of how you work with both charcoal and the ho ey comb was also very helpful- there is a lot of information out there that is often based on personal preference and experience so you often hear varying approaches and techniques and it leaves the learner confused and wondering when and if I should be switching to one product or the other…please keep the videos coming ( and don’t worry about being repetitive! Sometimes as we are learning we need to hear the information and steps over again to drill it into our heads!
Thanks, I have a bottle of this I bought a few years ago. I tried using it then and hated it. I was not heating my piece first so that was probably the problem. I am going to give it another try. Thanks for the great video.
+Julie Leininger Hey Julie I'm happy you are going to give it another try. Sometimes we just have to find out groove with certain products! Thank for watching xoxo!
I totally agree with you. I bought this flux first (before the paste flux) and couldn't really figure out how to use it properly. The paste flux just works perfectly every time, whereas with My Tflux has not enough substance in my opinion. Love your dark hair btw!
I use it just like and often instead of, Pripps or the denatured alcohol/boric acid combo for metal protection. And as you do, I find that the paste flux is WAY better for smooth solder flow. You hit on the great points very well, thanks for your loving care of your fans!
I could see that this product could help with intricate pieces with hard to reach areas... Filigree or anything really creative with layers of work..Nice video
+headlightdog Yes it's great for intricate pieces!! Thanks for watching xo!
My T Flux is a good product if you use it properly. I still just mix up Pripps flux for a barrier flux. Lasts through very high heat. Love your vids :-)
+ezridaeus yes it is a great product! I have yet to try Pripps heard great things. Thanks for watching xo!
I couldn't take my eyes off of your glasses! I need those would you mind sharing the brand and model?
+thelmarrie Thank you the brand is Ray Ban model #5154 5491 4921 140 I love these glasses just got them! Thanks for watching xo!
meshedesigns Thanks for responding I enjoy your videos and I am learning a lot!
Mich, do you think it actually burns OFF, or does it just kinda go clear? I have heard both but it does LOOK like it "burns away" as you say. I have also found that sometimes I have had to apply again and within one soldering operation (I use them together: Coat for protection, then add paste to my join area and go... especially if it's a fairly large or complicated one (lotsa places to join), do you experience that too? AND(!!!) it does gunk up your brick- dang! Although I do have good results from sanding my charcoal block with 80 grit to make it clean and smooth again. Wonderful review!
+Gabby Flying Chef Hey Gabby I use the term burning off but I can't be certain if it goes clear I just know it protects. Either way essentially it burns off the white coating. Yes I usually have to clean my charcoal once a week from the flux overspray. Glad you enjoyed xoxo!
OH, and the long hair is beautiful!
+Gabby Flying Chef Thank you :)
Thanks for the review, very helpful. What is your opinion on the use of silver paste solder? Thanks.
+Frank LaBrake Hey Frank I have a syringe of medium solder paste don't love it too much also don't use it too often find it to be a bit messy. I don't know if I gave it a fair try though. I prefer sheet solder.
+meshedesigns I ordered some paste this week to try after I "fried" a bezel and backplate (lost my focus and had too much heat on the piece - haha). Stay safe in this storm - I'm near Nyack, NY and getting lots of snow - weather map shows us for 18-24" and you Islanders are 24-30"!!! Yikes!!
Thanks for sharing! Love u ;)
+Aesha Egbuna Thanks for always being such a supportive subscriber lots of love xoxo
+meshedesigns Thank you! I love your work, your videos and your personality. I have learned so much from you and I look up to you. I feel lucky to have found you and that you actually respond to me when you can :) Keep up the good work and I'll keep liking and sharing!
I heard this can be made at home with Borax and Vodka....is that correct???
10 grams of silver to 5 grams of brass and you can make your own solder.
+Anthony Gallegos Thanks for the tip! xo
