I’ve used whiteout for years to prevent solder flow on hinge projects but I never thought to use it this way. Thank you for sharing @hjjewellerydesign - “My favourite tip is to use Tippex (whiteout) as an anti flux while soldering stamped details onto pieces- it's stops solder from running into your stamped sections ♥️.” 🙌 If you are planning to try this awesome tip just keep in mind that whiteout is extremely toxic when used in soldering and you should wear a respirator mask in a well ventilated area! 👩‍🏭🙏🏻 There are other commercials products available like yellow ochre to prevent solder flow as well. What do you use?
