      Your welcome! That's why I chose this method to start with, we already had a soldering iron and the supplies didn't break the bank. Have fun creating!! I would love to hear about what you make.

    I have looked a lot of places and googled different ways, but I can't find a burnishing stick that looks like that flat white one with a blunt end like yours. All I find are metal ones. Where did you get the one you have?

    Hi! Thanks for the tutorial. I'm excited to give it a try. Love how they turned out. Can I ask -- what's your ventilation set-up like? I'm not sure what sort of fan/vent to invest in.

      I have a box fan in my window facing outward, the door shut (its a bathroom), and the bathroom fan on. I also wear a respirator.

    I did this to a quartz crystal and after a week the cap came off. How do I prevent this from happening?

    I have done similar top to glass. They do not stay. Fall apart after about 2 to 3 weeks

    • @wednesday2222
      @wednesday2222  ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I have had some that are over a year old and get worn regularly. My favourite one gets worn at least once a week, and it looks new. You have to make sure to clean the crystal (or glass) very well to remove any oil from your hands and making sure to burnish it VERY well is a must. Also maybe the glass is too smooth to have a cap stay on well, I find with a crystal it's uneven and irregular, and I feel like that helps keep it from falling off.

    can I do that with silver grain?

    • @wednesday2222
      @wednesday2222  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      no, silver grain has a higher melting point and requires different tools and techniques.

    • @wednesday2222
      @wednesday2222  ปีที่แล้ว

      I tend to use the black backed copper foil tape, I use 3/8, but 1/4 is usually recommended, it lasts ALONG time, im still on my first roll from 1.5 years ago lol, I cut the width down often.

    Hi there, does the copper tape would turn into rust or it doesn't? thank you for the video ❤✨

    • @wednesday2222
      @wednesday2222  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Copper does not rust, and if it's completely covered by the solder it won't turn green

  • @melodychest9020
    @melodychest9020 29 วันที่ผ่านมา

    You ever thought of using a vise?! Does not look crash hot with all the solder smacked right on top like that. Besides all this will corrode over time and that bale will develop weakness over time. Good idea but you need to refine the finish of this so badly! I would wrap some decent copper or silver thickish wire around the copper wrap and make a bale at the top .. a much more better looking and durable solution.
