How to: Soldering Findings to Jewelry

Published: November 5, 2007
Paint the finding with an anti-flux and allow it to dry. Sweat easy solder onto the findings. Flux the piece and the findings. Place the findings where you want them attached. Heat from above and below until the solder flows. Quench the piece, and pickle. Test the finding to make sure it is secure and did not solder shut.

Alternatively, place the fluxed finding on the piece, and heat until the flux becomes a white crust. Place pallions of solder so they touch the base of each finding, and heat from above and below until the solder flows.
