The new look of Orchid is Awesome!
I need to solder some very fine brass mesh to sheet sterling, and I
thought I’d ask for input. The sheet has cut outs for dragon wings
that are about the size of a 10 mm equilateral triangle. The sheet
between the the triangles is variable, but averages about 2 mm. The
brass will be the webbing of the dragon wings, the sheet will be the
"fingers" of the wing. Hopefully I have described the problem well
enough that you can picture it. I have tried doing this before with
dragonfly wings, and had great difficulty. I have had a few years of
soldering experience since then, so I am going to attempt it again,
but I thought I’d ask if anyone on Orchid had some slick way of
doing it. I’ll let you know the final outcome and what technique I
used. Someone locally mentioned a paint on solder, but I have had no
experience with it, so comments on that product would also be
appreciated.
