  • How do you polish them?

  • @iloveanabel730 I polish my silver after soldering by burnishing with a brass bristle brush, then tumble with steel shot... you can also give your silver a scuffed matte polish with fine grit sandpaper or sanding pads :)

  • another question, is it lead free ??

  • @carjomaha yes, it is lead free as far as I'm aware... the tube does say in contains fluorides, so always use in a well ventilated area.

  • can you tell me if the solder dries out quickly even kept in the fridge? Where do you buy it ?

  • @carjomaha Mine has not dried out on me yet, and I'm still using the same tube I purchased over 6 months ago! And I just keep mine on my bench. I buy my silver solder paste from CoolTools.us ... they are known for their fantastic metal clay products.

  • Hi , I just received my solder paste from cooltools, it doesn't work. Does it not work on brass. what kind of torch do you use??

    thanks

  • You can actually quench the work in pickle to save time. I find that even if the pickle solution is heated it can take a couple minutes to dissolve the firecoat on a cold piece, but if you quench the piece in heated pickle the firecoat is dissolved nearly instantaneously.
