Forget to add a hallmark? This may work for you! (US)
In this video I am adding a hallmark to a cuff I created because I forgot to add it when I made it! I'll show how I remove a stone from gallery wire, add the hallmark, then re-set the stone!

    Miraculously I just gave this technique a "good guess" on a pair of earrings i made and I see I was correct! Yay for me (for once!) Lol. Now I know that I probably should use my chip solder for this 😆. It's all good though. I would like to know if you could show us how to solder an edge if braided wire to the end of a ring. Its been driving me insane and now I have solder all over the ring shank! 😂 Thank you!

    Roberta can you use that copper "tape" to remove the solder? I just found out that stuff exists so i was curious if you have ever used it and is it safe to use on silver too even though it's a copper tape?

    • @robertapihl76
      @robertapihl76 4 місяці тому

      Honestly I haven’t tried it, myself! I think for me the best practice is to always start with less solder because it’s just easier to add than take it away, but if you think it’s worth trying out, give it a go! Be brave and experiment! Then maybe let me Know how it works because I make mistakes too *giggles!* 💕

    I taught myself how to solder and I have had a lot of learning mistakes on my curve and you explain things so easily that I have learned so much just from the few videos I've watched so far. Thank you so much for your easy application and instruction. I have so much paste solder and I get it everywhere and then nothing sticks and I end up having to pickle it and scrub it and start all over. I feel like hugging you I am so happy that I have figured out the things that have been puzzling me for so long. I have ADHD really bad so it's hard for me to pay attention to most UA-cam tutorials and yours have been not only the best but the easiest to follow so far. Thank you so much for your videos. I'm so glad I subscribed yesterday.

      @robertapihl76 11 місяців тому

      Depending on the size of your piece, you may require more heat. I have a $40 plumber’s torch as well for those situations but you have to remember to moderate your heat control so you don’t just melt everything ;) hope that helps!

    • @robertapihl76
      @robertapihl76 11 місяців тому

      Adding to that, steel is a heat sink and a butane torch won’t put out enough heat. ;)

I would hate to lose the textured backplate it's on, and all that work. Hard solder tends to be well soldered. I hope you can help me🙏🙏🙏
