How to Fill a Hole with Silver Solder in a Finished Seam on a Silver Pendant ( Without Destroying Your Piece!)-I'll show how to fill a hole in a finished seam on a silver pendant with silver solder. A ding, hole, or depression can happen in a silver seam in a lot of different ways but I'll show you how to fix it, even when you have already completely finished soldering the pendant.

"..... it loves to reflow and move like an a$$hole ..." 😂😂 My solder gets named 1 of my 3 categories - A$$hole - Mutha F'ker - Shit it worked?! ...all depending on the attitude of the materials...lol Just struck my funny bone when I heard you say that! Btw - I find it totally refreshing to hear someone else speaking like I do while working or describing work!! I have days where I use "f*ck" like comma ! Studies have shown that cursing can reduce stress ... true story. Cheers to your apocalypse from my apocalypse!!

I have no doubt that swearing works like a release valve, and jewelers have a lot to release! When I started making these videos, I decided I would show things(and me) as they really are, since that would be most helpful. I maintain a strict- no bullshit- policy. :) I hope our apocalypses are almost at an end, would love to see you in the studio. :)

This is so helpful! I didn’t think I could fix dents and dings with solder! Thanks Jeanette! ❤

Thank you for this video. I usually use liquid flux but this is one instance where paste flux is probably the best.

Great tip! I can’t for the life of me, get my solder to flow as fast as you do. Were you using easy solder? I use a Smith’s Little Torch, with acetylene and oxygen. It take me so long, my metal warps (baseplate)!!

@JewelryArts Жыл бұрын

I never use Easy, it has a yucky color and lots of other undesirable traits. Hot and fast is the way, maybe try a larger tip?

@a1z214 Жыл бұрын

Awesome! Not sure about what solder you used. What kind of % is it if it is?

@JewelryArts Жыл бұрын

Hmmm, we use 4 solders, Intense Temperature (IT) Hard, Medium, and easy. We used the medium solder here and we purchased it from Myron Toback here in NYC. :)

Thanks... Very informative... Well done. I would like to get rid of engraving on a flat shaped, silver plated piece... then engrave something else in the same area. I had thought that I could solder silver over the engraving and thusly proceed... Might you have any thoughts or recommendations about this? Thanks again...

@JewelryArts Жыл бұрын

You can do that but normally if you heat to soldering temperature for silver, the plating will be damaged. Is this something you made yourself?

@@JewelryArts Thanks so much...! That was juicy! It is an antique piece. Wouldn't a low temp solder do the trick, you think? Thanks again...

@JewelryArts Жыл бұрын

@@dmprdctns A low temperature solder would be the way forward BUT if the piece has value as is, altering it would probably decrease its value. Just something to consider. :)

Question: why was the flux added first and not all together flux+solder? is this a general technique or just because you were filling the little hole in? thank you!

@JewelryArts 5 ай бұрын

It is just an attempt to keep the solder in place. :)
