Ever heard of pick soldering? ๐ฅ Pick soldering is a technique for placing solder with accuracy. After you have fluxed and gently heated your piece, you heat a solder chip until it begins to ball up. At the same time, you use your soldering pick to pick it up. Then you can place the solder exactly where you want it, without it being blown away by the flame or falling off the joint. ๐จ
In this reel Iโm using the TITAN Titanium Solder Pick from @robertlopezdesigns1 ๐ Huge thanks to Robert for gifting me this absolutely gorgeous tool. What youโre seeing here is literally my first time using itโno seasoning needed, and itโs hard to misplace thanks to those beautiful colors. Perfect for pick soldering right out of the gate.
I also cover pick soldering (and tons of other soldering tips) in my book Metalsmith Societyโs Guide to Jewelry Making ๐
Have you tried pick soldering at your bench?
