Awesome, thank you!

Thanks. The heat gun only works with the 300* solder. The thickness is really important. The melting point is. The jump rings used are plated brass.

Thanks ever so much 😊

It is just playdo or any other non-drying craft dough.

Yes. You have to set the larger stones by hand.

It can probably be done but it would be difficult and bulky.

The heat gun is a lower temperature heat source. So, you are able to solder the settings without ruining the plating. The torch is a little higher temperature heat source. With the higher heat source you have more options because you are generally using brass. I like the extensive variety available with the brass. However, to have a professional finished product you would need to send your pieces off to a plater. Jan

I would like to help. However, you have not given me enough information to work with. Can you provide me with more information and i will see if i can help.

The metal back I bought from Amazon, It's stainless steel. I used handy flux and solder with rosin core in it. It wouldn't solder it just balls up.

If the settings are stainless steel then my best guess is that your solder melts at a higher temperature that your heat source can supply. Jan

The solder melts at 475°

Thank you! 😊

can you contact the people you bought the settings from and ask them what they are made of. I am guessing they are made of aluminum and not meant to be soldered.

Best guess is the solder you are using melts at a higher temperature than your heat source or your piece is somehow being insulated so it can't get hot enough to get the solder to flow.

I am not sure what you are referring to. The solder we carry has a rosin core and the settings are brass or plated brass. I have never had any of my pieces oxidize.

I know a lot of performers that either make their earrings or have them made with an ear clip post combo. They either use the omega clips (which are hard to find). Or they use ear clips that are pieced at the tip of the paddle and add a post.

@@Jansjewels After asking around! A lot of performers have told me they put nail glue or spirit gum (wig glue) on their ears sometimes to keep earrings from slipping while they are doing a dance performance. Amazing! haha

Yes that is true. i assume there is a learning curve with that as I see some who do that and have scabs on their ears and others that do not.

Your solder will not stick to the rhinestones. You are soldering the settings not the stones. If you solder is not sticking to the settings something is wrong. Either the settings are aluminum or something else that can't be soldered or your solder has a high melting point and will not melt.

It is just referred to as a bead cap. Some people may call them chain ends.

Playdoh or any non-drying craft clay.

It is playdo. However you can use any non drying craft dough.

I made up some of these kits last week. You can find them at the following url> www.jansjewels.com/Soldering-Kits_c_665-3-4.html

Thank you!!!

Yes. You can solder to brass, copper or steel.

Thank you

You are so welcome!

It is a great way to solder when you want a finished piece quickly.

I can recommend item number 0612-27 at jansjewels.com. However, it is difficult to use with a heat gun since its melting point is 440*. I works better with a torch but, then you can't use plated settings. You would need to use brass and then send the finished piece off to be plated. Jan

Here is a link to some lead free solder wire. www.jansjewels.com/20ft-THIN-Lead-Free-Solder-Wire_p_42141.html However, it is very difficult to use with the heat gun because its melting point is *440 and the heat gun really only heats to *350. The heat does accumulate but, it takes a long time and puts the plating under stress by applying all of that heat. If you are wanting lead fee you would do better to work in brass and send your pieces off to be plated. Jan

Sorry. I have a long list of projects to do and crowns are not one of them. Unfortunately I don't see me doing any crowns any time in the near future. Jan

Many bead cap are. However, I think the ones I used for that video may have been aluminium which can not be soldered.

Hello! Thanks for watching.

Thanks! Now that I have the video editing figured out there should be many more. However, mine will pale in comparison to the ones that John edited for me. However, I will do my best.

@@Jansjewels you were going to have to teach me how to do this editing

Still learning myself but, I would be happy to when you are in town and have time. Jan

Thank you. You are very welcome.

Thanks so much!

Thank you!

Thank you! 😊

Glad you like them!

Thank you! 😊

Great to hear. Thanks so much!

yes

They are suppose to get ups to 350*. However, if you leave the heat gun in one place to long the heat will increase a bit more than that.

I was told years ago that it could not be done with plated settings. However, when I was doing classes I had a lady on oxygen who wanted to solder. So, I just figured it out playing around with some embossing powder on some stones one day.

Glad it was helpful!

Wow, thank you!
