Soldering a jump ring

Posted in: Tutorials, Videos


Very useful tutorial here on how to solder a jump ring. This is a really important technique if you want your jewellery to be extra secure. It’s usually more expensive jewellery that seems to be soldered because of the extra time taken I assume.

    You said you flame off your firecoat…can you explain that for this dummy please? Is firecoat the same as flux? And how do you flame it off? Is that where when you first heat up something with flux on it the flux boils off?
