Here is a soldering tip from @hattie.eshleman - “I would love that! Here is a caption- “Use binding wire (or any steel wire) to make a nest and elevate your piece so that you can get heat underneath. Great alternative to having to buy a tripod rig!” 🙌 Thanks for letting me share! You can also use various gauged binding wire to create different nests! Be sure to use binding wire as other steel wires may have toxic fumes! #safetyfirst #solderingtips #bindingwire #solderingblock
