Here is a soldering tip from @at_the_bench_uk - “Titanium soldering clamps. You solder? You really to need them. Hundreds of uses. Bend them into unique clamps, holders. Use them as spacers, to lift metal up to the right height when soldering. Don’t use copper as this absorbs the heat and makes your soldering process take ages and that gives you firescale. Work sensibly, work efficiently.” I love all the different ways Andrew has shown these strips in action! Thanks for letting me share! #solderingjewelry #soldering #solderingtip #titanium
