Objectives:
1. + vs. -
2. Piercing metals
3. Sweat soldering
4. Patina (oxidizers)
5. Jump Ring
Materials:
2 copper (1x1)
patina
tool box
Steps:
1. Think of a design to put on a keychain.
(you can draw or print on a piece of paper and glue it)
2. Pierce out your piece!
3. On the bottom side of the pierced copper flow solder (med/hard) >>> put into pickle to clean.
4. Clean (Sand) the back of your piece and sandwich the flux and pieces together so they match up.
5. @the Soldering bench:
~Heat your metal evenly
~when the flux turns clear concentrate your flame on the solder
~you'll know it's soldered together if you see a sliver of silver between the metals.
6. Yay! Clean metal in the pickle (5 min) Rinse off and Polish
7. Jump Ring:
~Drill a hole where you will attach a jump ring.
~thread ring
~solder ring shut with soft/ easy solder
8. Patina: Liver of Sulfur
