Here is a soldering station tip from @jinjo.spumoni - “I flipped my annealing pan over and put some pumice underneath my honeycomb. It gives you the ability to still spin if you need to, but more steady so it won't move on you. I use the larger part of the pan to let my pieces cool off. I don't really like quenching most things unless I have to 🐱” 😁 Thanks for sharing this! So clever! Happy friday to everyone! I appreciate you being here!
