Heating from Above and Below with Steel U Supports

Here is a soldering tip from @pigeonheartdesigns - “Both these photos are to show ways I heat a piece from above & below without having to use a heat sinking source. If you need clarification please ask! Using a piece of steel I cut from a coil I make these fold over U shapes to prop jewelry on that needs to get heated from beneath. This enables me to get heat evenly above & beneath the piece while keeping the piece stable & in place, without a bit heat sink. It’s really helpful for attaching odd shaped pieces. Likewise- I break up a honeycomb soldering block & am then able to get heat below.
Another nice option is to use the pumice pieces from your annealing pan to elevate your pieces. Hope this helps!
Thanks for reading!” Love all of these ideas!! Thank you so much for sharing!! #solderingtips #honeycomb #heatsink #soldering
