    Another great video. It might be a little bit better with some close up work to it actually see it happen. Keep the goodness coming.

    Thank you. What mineral oil do you use? I use a broken saw blade to place the paste solder, and who doesn't have them around? Stay safe, Steve...

    Question: when soldering the earring post, did you put paste solder on the post or on the backplate?

    Thank you for this video. I am very new to soldering. I am working with copper wire. I have a solder paste that says it will mimic the color of brass, silver, copper or gold. It is not doing that. It looks silver after I am done. It also does not always flow even after fluxing. The solder hardens on me. How can I stop this? Is there a specific solder for copper that can be used? Can you use olive oil in a plastic cup instead of mineral oil in glass jar to store the unused portion in the tip?

      @@lizw2853yes. Regular flux is designed to encourage solder to flow. Barrier flux (also called stop flow) is designed to keep solder from flowing all over the place. Rio Grande has a video on their website about mixing your own and also sells products that is ready made.

    Hello, I use Google Translate. I had a question. When I melt the silver, after casting and cooling, I saw dark spots on it. What is the cause? What is the solution? Thank you.

    • @RioGrande1944
      @RioGrande1944  Рік тому +1

      Hello, thank you for the question. Here is an explanation from our tech team: When sterling is melted without protection and oxygen pickup occurs, the copper will oxidize. Copper oxide in the casting can cause two problems. First, copper oxide inclusions will occur throughout the casting. They really only cause a problem when they are near the surface, where they act as hard spots that stick above the polished surface. Second, a layer of copper oxide can form in and around shrinkage porosity. This is seen on a polished surface as gray, cloudy spots. These spots are usually too deep to be polished out. Figure 8 shows a cross section of a sterling ring; shrinkage porosity can be seen throughout. Also evident are two darker areas: one at the up- per right and the other in the lower left of the casting. These dark areas indicate copper oxide surrounding surface porosity. The presence of cuprous oxide can be confirmed with an optical microscope using polarized light. Figures 9 through 11 show the various views of sterling silver with normal illumination and with polarized light. The first photo of each sequence (9A, 10A, lIA) shows various inclusions that appear black. The second photo in each sequence (9B, 10B, IIB) shows the inclusions as bright red in color, confirming that they are cuprous oxide. In some cases, when the molten sterling is left unprotected for an ex- tended amount of time and/or is overheated, the copper oxide formation is so severe that the surface of the molten sterling develops a rather tenacious skin. This copper oxide skin greatly reduces the fluidity of the metal. The usual result is that many of the fine details on the castings do not fill. In some instances, major portions of the casting do not fill. A telltale sign of this condition is a reddish color on the surface near the incomplete fill. For further assistance regarding any casting problems, it’s advisable to contact your metal supplier.
