Mind blasted!! 🤯 How come nobody told me this?? looking back it completely makes sense. As you layer up sterling pieces the flow gets harder and harder to achieve, lost countless hours.... (SUBBED!!!)
I’ve always been able to solder with fine silver and argentium very easily, but once I started working with sterling I could never get the solder to flow properly, so this helps a lot, thanks.
Thank you so much , respects from London . I'm about to go in on a friend's silver ring , lose my solder virginity . I'm confident now , thanks to you . 💋
It's to reduce firescale. In a nutshell, it keeps the piece from discoloring (thus needing clean up and polish) in areas other than where you are doing your work. I mix about an inch of boric acid in a jar and fill the rest with denatured alcohol.
Thanks duder! Appreciate you taking the time to show this. New to jewlrey
Not going to get into any technicalities the whole damn video is a technicality LMFAO you the jewelry science guy ❤
You explained the part no one else has.

Thank you !

Excellent explanation of why the entire piece needs to be soldered. I
thanks you are so cool.
Thank you
How to make silver welding and how much copper, silver and cadmium
The bottom line is, heat it all, "simple"
What is the purpose of the boric acid? How do you mix it?

what exact solder you using though? there's a lot of different white solders, thanks for the vid
I like to use standard sterling silver EZ flow solder.
thanks
I have ten grams of silver, how do I make silver welds, and how much copper and cadmium are there
Can I use a hot solder iron and a super hot heat gun?
No, the melting temp is over 1,000 degrees. Most soldering guns don't get over 400 degrees.
Which solder to use?
Silver solder
👍
You finally got there after talking in circles ..
You are brazing silver 😉
Over 400 degrees
Totally confusing and awful.
Confusing , yes but not awful. Be nice to this kind gentleman !
Not at all. This is the first one to finally explain it right.
recommended: go back and START the video at 4:30. I think you'll find it very helpful and wise!
