Hi Nae! There is seriously hardly ANY videos on RUclips about 14k gold filled soldering!! So I appreciate you so much!!
Question: Have you tried using the “yellow silver solder” that RioG has for soldering gold filled?
Also, where did you get your training from?? Did it cost you a lot of $$ to get a soldering station set up at home? How much total would you say? I don’t know about you, but im all about saving $ when it comes to buying all the tools and supplies…
Hi! Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment!
I have not tried the yellow silver solder, it probably wouldn’t be something I would use for 14kt gold filled just because silver can tarnish so that would be a concern. I found the same can be true when using gold filled solder, you risk tarnishing because the base metals can tarnish. So I stick to 14kt or 10kt gold solder.
As far as training I consider myself self taught haha. I learned thru RUclips university, the internet and a couple books, experimentation and practice. But as you said there was even less info on gf when I started so I learned about mainly gold and silver metal smithing. And had to just learn how to work with gf on my own.
And I created my set up when I was making a lot less than I am now so it wasn’t too much but I started very basic. I will have to do a video about it. But I remember it was probably $400-500 to get basic tools and materials to start and I went from there.
Hope this helps! Good luck on your journey✨
Great point about it tarnishing! Yes, then real 14k gold will be the safer bet. Thanks so much!
Would you be able to two-tone a stainless steel watch band?
Sorry no that’s outside my expertise
