Where did you purchase those little solder squares? Thanks for this video, I love it!

[artjewelrymag]

@DanaTeru I didn't actually purchase the solder in squares (called "pallions" or "chips"). I bought my solder in sheet form and then used jeweler's shears to cut it into tiny chips. We have a video on our web site called "Solder Organization" that you might find helpful. :) Enjoy!

It is also easier to just set the solder at the bottom and the heat will pull it up onto the bezel. Using fine silver also prevents some fire scale. Oh, for myself, I find it better to use hard solder, even though it may require a high temperature to flow and I usually only apply heat to the joints.

Good points, all around. I do generally prefer to start with hard solder too. It more closely matches the color of the other metal.
