Here is a soldering tip from @kkbmetalstudio - “Use copper pennies (prior to 1982) when you need to hold things in place or as a lift, while soldering! I keep a stack of them around and pickle them when they get gross!” Love this!! Isn’t half the battle getting things positioned?!? If you have a solution you came up with to solder something tricky, send me an email! 🙏🏻 would love to see!! Corkie@METALSMITHSOCIETY.com ✉️ #jewelrytipoftheday #soldering #solderingtips
