Jewelry Techniques: Cleaning Up Soldered Work

This video goes through the process of cleaning up soldered work. Soldering creates firescale, and the added complication of multiple layers of metals that you have to navigate around with your sandpaper. I go over a variety of techniques you can use to get into the cracks and crevices of your work as well as what to look for in finished sanding.
