... Trish, Being new to soldering in general, how do you "thin" solder? Are you saying that you cut thin slivers of solder sheet or are you suggesting thining...
Hi Lee, Yes I thinned out my solder. I have 20guage super easy, but it was to heavy
for what I was doing. I thinned it out and it worked perfectly. No more...
Yes it does and the solder flows better and quicker. Less scaling or
blackening too. I started out with 25ft. Of the 20gauge solder.....putting
it thru the...
so you are actually using wire solder? I generally recommend sheet solder, so if this is what you are doing, you are more or less changing it to sheet...
You can put sheet solder through a rolling mill as well, to get smaller pieces. I use this on my regular jewelry work, since a little bit of solder goes a...
Yeah I guess I am. I had only that on hand and improvised, and it works for
me. I have a piece of sterling sheet solder and find it hard to cut. The
wire...
Someone was talking about the different types of solder they use. Sheet or flattened wire. Dave Arens (the maker of the KK) told me about a lady in Florida...
That's probably Beth at... MyUniqueSolutions.com (Google to the rescue!) I got some paste solder and my first powder solder from her, too. Great stuff, nice...
... Do you use flux with the powder? And...what do you use to get the powder on your joint? See what you started? I got some paste solder and my first powder...
I have tried the paste solder, didn't like it after awhile.........maybe
because of my pen torch. I have upgraded since then. ... From: Richard White Date:...
Paste solder doesn¹t work so well for filigree. I find that in the process of trying to get it off the syringe and onto the wires, you often end up moving the...
That is what I was doing except I put a blob on a tile and took little bits
of it. It would flare. I have that micro torch you mentioned before..like
the one...
LOL, I'm famous for starting stuff. :) I use paste flux, thinned so that it's a little thinner than the consistency of American yogurt, applied very carefully,...
I would like to see any photos available. I am completely new to filigree so inspiration always helps. I am working on technique not speed right now. Send a...

Thanks, photography and filigree both look good. I just ordered her CD From: filigree@yahoogroups.com [mailto:filigree@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Lauren ...
This powder solder...does it melt quickly? My problem with regular sterling,
was a lot of fire scale no matter what I did to prep the silver. Trish ... From:...
I still have to pickle, but I haven't seen anything that won't pickle off. The filler wires that the Russian style uses are delicate enough that if they got...
I should dig out the brooch from my Oma, We think it is Turkish.........I
will post to the group later. By weight alone I was told it was worth close
to $1000....
Thanks! I love the CD. It's almost as good as taking a class from her in person, I took her repousse and chasing class when she came to Seattle about a year...
Very pretty. So would your style of filigree be considered Russian? ... From: Jeanne Rhodes-Moen Date: 06/06/2009 7:26:31 PM To: filigree@yahoogroups.com ...
Lol I know you are the author and yours is a Norwegian technique. I should
have worded it better. I meant the base form is similar to your style using
a...
