horrible soldering, oh and the wire is tinned than heated with a tinned tip than the solder is melted onto the wire/joint
As many others have said - this is the WRONG method. @ poster: learn before you teach.
Your bad you have to heat up the joint with yout solderiron and then when it’s as hot as the iron put the solder on and then it will melt and go all around the joint, so go away with you stupid flux
That was for sure a cold solder joint.
But she is a cougar!
2:21 - “The point of the flux being here is to create a vacuum that is actually going to suck that solder in and all around the joint. So be listening for when the hissing stops when you put the soldering iron on to the solder… when that happens you know you are done and you don’t have any more flux.” hahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahah
I suck at soldering, but I still can do better than that
Hey bitch, you solder like a n00b, go take your stupidness somewhere else. Even if you had the right type of solder, you wouldn’t be good at all, you create what is called a cold solder joint, where it looks like it is attached but isn’t. Trust me i have soldered about 100 times. Heat the wire then put a little dab of solder on it.
I suggest it would be far better to look at Andrew Berry, a professional jeweller.
He gives instruction in plain English without sales patter.
The soldering technique is incorrect. Even with the correct type of solder you want to heat the metal it’s self in her case the 12 gauge copper wire(copper being another metal you do not want to use in jewelry making). After heating the copper wire at the join touch the solder to the joint. Because the metal is heating the solder not the iron the solder will have a better bond with the metal. However I want to note that I’m not an expert and I only know soldering for electrical purposes.
Also never put the iron in your mouth, ears, nose or other “holes” on your body.
No, I’m in my jewelry store doing doing repair and custom work. 32 years at the bench put me on this pedestal. Your video is amateurish at best.
plenty of people use a soldering iron to make jewelry. it’s cheap and easily accessible. there are many methods to fuse metal together and this is one of them.
i highly doubt you’re at home silver brazing so please get off your pedestal.
No one uses a soldering iron to make jewelry, you need a torch. Hope she’s not using lead solder! Don’t put soft solder on jewelry or glasses, it won’t hold and I’ll have to charge u extra to remove it and do the job right. This is a terrible video.
What a great video. I have the iron already and I don’t like the idea of using a torch, so this helps out immensely.
im in a three year jewellery program, we do not use soldering irons we use a torch and our solder comes in strips not wire. this looks more like soldering people use for electronics not jewellery. What kind of solder was that, definitley not silver or gold.
Okay, that proves it. Americans do have a sense of humour ;-)
Silent “l” ha ha
Awesome advice and you are very clear and concise about it. I’ve been going to my jeweler for small soldering repair for years and she keeps jacking the prices up on me. I have an ancient silver ring that needs shank repair. With practice and your advice I’m sure it won’t be long till I feel confident to perform these procedures myself. I have a jeweler’s torch though, are soldering irons expensive? They seem so much easier.
How do we get “sodder” from solder
Don’t forget McDonalds were successfuly sued for not warning people that their hot coffee was hot! If course it’s obvious but I don’t blame her for saying it.
Enough with the soding “sodder” already!
yes it’s necessary, flux stops oxidation and you don’t want that, if the copper or any other metal has some grade of oxidation the solder will not adhere well and you will be left with a weak solder joint.
Excellent! Thanks so much for making this very clear tutorial.
Thank you for simplifying what was a mysterious to me. Very concise & clear. I think I’ll visit your shop.
