If you use liquid flux here is a tip from @izao - “I use fluoron powder that I mix with water. It becomes very liquid (like water) so to apply it on the jewelry I use a syringe and needle. It makes the application of the flux more precise!” Thanks so much for sharing! I always love seeing the different ways everyone does things! 💕 #Metalsmithsociety #jewelrymakingcommunity #jewelrytools
