What is the ratio for mixing boric acid and alcohol? Im jus getn started in tbe field could use some tips. Thank you
@simonzjewelry4 ай бұрын
you want to leave a coating of boric acid on your metal after burning off the alcohol. You do not want too much and you’re not gonna want too little, I use about 2. 3 parts of boric acid and the rest alcohol.

Thanks for the video! Can lower karat scrap be used to solder higher karat gold pieces?
@simonzjewelry2 жыл бұрын
I don’t think so, lower carat metal may not melt faster then the other. I use solder of the same carat content in soft, med or high melting points… depending on the job.

Do you only use solder on a repair for any type of metal? Asking about sterling silver and 14KT or 18KT gold?
@simonzjewelry2 жыл бұрын
I use the same color and carat content for each, or higher.

Is boric acid necessary? Can I use vinegar and salt for pickling before and after solder? what type of flux do I need? I found aquiflux spray bottle on amazon, however I feel this is not ideal for such a small repair.
@simonzjewelry2 жыл бұрын
boric acid helps to protect stones and the metal from fire scale and oxidation... a must in many cases. You need to find a jewelry tools supplier for flux and ... Should Not be a big problem these days.

@@simonzjewelry Thank you. When you refer to solder, is it actually plumb gold? also, is the gold quenched in water? how is the boric acid removed at the end?

I need to fix my gold chain just a couple of dots. How much is it ?
Would there be a noticeable difference after repair with a bigger link chain. Miami cuban link? I'm not sure if they are going to cut from the end and attach the lock back or remove links. Getting my 26"cut to a 24

Unique L. Valdez Sorry for the late response. No if they cut it carefully and solder it properly, there should not be any visible difference.
