Hello. Great job. What kind of soldering iron did you use? I fail to make the soldering iron stick to the back of the dial. Thanks!

I use a Weller iron station. You can find it at amzn.to/3RprQ9h. If your iron stuck to the dial it might mean that it had not enough temperature.

Thanks for the video. There is a product called Tix solder for jewelry and it's melting point is 135 degrees C, much lower than regular solder 220 degrees C. I wonder if it would work and make it less likely to do heat damage. I will have to try it some time. Thanks for the tips, your dial turned out great!

Thank you, John! 135C melting point is much safer than 220C and I'll try it. Thank you for the information, appreciate it!

The only thing is that Tix has a lead in it, in small quantity though.
