Here is a tip to hold your work together while soldering from @tracey_michelle129 - “I’m using these Stainless steel cotter pins purchased from my local hardware store to keep the tension on these two pieces to solder together. Also great for securing small pieces like wire to a flat or curved surface. The tension is great and they won’t get soft when heated. I have the Knew Concept strips but haven’t figured out how to use them. These cost pennies and work just fine.” Thank you so much for taking the time to share with us Tracey!
