Sanding (part 2 of 2) | Jewelry Tips with Nancy

In this jewelry tutorial I will show you how to sand your jewelry using two methods; by hand and with a sanding disk attached to a flex shaft.
NOTE: 1 - I've just discovered, via a well informed viewer, that red rouge is not wax based, as I was taught, but fat based. Two of those fatty ingredients are: Tallow Glyceride and Triglycerides (animal fat). This explains why it comes off in hot soapy water! Cool.
NOTE 2:
Since publishing these videos, I've found different discs to use. Please check out my website, http://www.nancylthamilton.com/techniques/sanding/ for more information about the products discussed in this video

Love your videos!!! Can you do a piece on polishing around a bezel and the finishing polishing steps please?

[nancylthamilton]

Hi Dawn, Great idea.  Will work on it. Thanks for the suggestion. Nancy

FYI polishing compounds are grease based, not wax based. That's why hot soapy water removes it :)

[nancylthamilton]

Funny how we carry around mis-information. I was TAUGHT that it was wax based. Thanks for pointing out the error of my thinking. I checked out the MSDS on red rouge and voilá, there it was: Tallow and triglicerides! I'll make a note in the information section of the video. Thanks again, Nancy

please do more videos. like eyelet rivets for the poor or starters.kinds of solder , and is their a cheaper kind to use. i just started so i'm using copper and bronze. thought i could use the same solder for plummers?

[nancylthamilton]

If you want cheap rivets, buy copper tubing, cut to size and rivet. Eyelets cost way more. I'm doing a vid on riveting soon. There are no starter kinds of solder. Jewelry creation can be done on the cheap - you have to be very resourceful and creative. I put together my first studio for about 100.00. Somethings you can't skip on like silver solder and a decent torch - you'll use it forever. Hope new vids. will help. N

You can't use plumbers solder in this type of soldering - messy, wrong temp., metal match, etc.. Half oz. of silver solder runs about 18.00 and will last you YEARS. I talk about cost effective soldering setups on my website. The idea behind using hard solders such as silver and gold, is to hide the solder and to create a strong, non-toxic join. Old plumber's solder can contain lead. Many more reasons. You can use soft solder. Not very pretty, though. Good Luck. Nancy

Thank you so much, I always wanted to know which grit to use. Can't wait to watch another video. Excellent!!
