Hello- I am having difficulty sweat soldering a 22ga, 1/2"wide strip
of sterling silver to a 22 ga. 2" round circle of sterling silver. I
realize the heat on the larger piece has to be uniform and I feel it
is but I am having trouble keeping pressure on the smaller piece with
third hand, pick or anything else. I have to use hard solder on
this.
Does anyone have an idea to hold the smaller piece firmly against
the larger piece ? I can’t seem to use stainless steel wire to bind
them together as the round piece won’t hold it. Help!
