Learn 4 methods to NOT MELT Silver Solder. Knowing how to NOT MELT Silver Solder is just as important as knowing how to melt silver solder.
Designer Craftsman Jeweler, Greg Greenwood, demonstrates how to plan your soldering steps, proper directions of your torch, how to use heat sinks, shields, and anti flow materials. His ideas and suggestions will help you avoid the problem of unexpected re-melting solder joints. Part 1 of 2.
I wanted to say thank you again for an exhalant series of videos. I just want to let folks know that from watching Greg's videos, in less than three months, I have gone from having never made any silverwork before to to selling my first piece in the at Wales’s prestigious Arts Centre in Aberystwyth in the UK. Thanks Greg your a true international educator.
Kind Regards. . . Andy
Hello Andy, Thank you for your kind comments. I really appreciate it. You have worked hard and learned much in the last 3 months. Congratulations on your first sale!! I am here to help. Thanks again. Greg Greenwood
Excellent tutorial. I find the biggest problem my students have with soldering is that they hold the torch too far away from the point they wish to flow soldier or they erratically move the torch about (because they were taught to do this to initially warm the piece.) This eventually leads to the entire piece overheating. Either the flux burns off and nothing flows or previous joints come undone.

Hello Rajeshwar, Thank you for your comment. I appreciate it. Keep watching. Greg Greenwood
Interesting. Just curious. What torch are you using in method 2?
Hello William, Thanks for watching. The torch is a Prest-O-Lite acetylene/air torch. Using a B tank of acetylene. 4 different tips. I have used this torch for over 40 years. It works great for all of my needs. Thanks again. Greg Greenwood
@@greggreenwood4628 Thanks Greg. They don't seem to be available any longer. 40 years! Must be a good un.
Hello William, I just got done soldering a minute ago with the torch. Yes, it is a good one. I have seen them on ebay used. The Uniweld acetylene torch is similar. Also, check with your local welding supplier. They may have a suggestion and a model for you. Let me know how it goes. Thanks Greg Greenwood
Hi William I’m just looking through Greg’s comment and I noticed yours. I’m very new to the art but I have already wasted money on a single gas torches. I asked Greg the same question as you and then foolishly purchased a single gas Sievert jewellers torch, great for little stuff but I wanted to make a 50mm wide copper cuff bracelet with a 2.5mm copper wire carrying beads on it. I couldn’t have made what I wanted with the Sievert or my plumber’s torches. The plumbers torch would heat the copper but over heat the beads. The jewellers torch with a needle nozzle would have a small enough flame but it wouldn’t have the power to heat up the copper fast enough so as not to damage the beads. Before you buy another torch have a good look at dual gas options, I wish I had, before spending money needlessly. Like I say, Greg told me but I didn’t listen. . £££$$$£££!!! I now have a great Mapp gas and Oxygen kit. It cooks like oxyacetylene, but I probably should have looked at oxy/propane as a better option for my needs. Don’t rush at it like I did! Kind regards Andy @@williamemerson1799
