Hey Subscribers!

I have been working with all types of vintage jewelry in the past year. Often times I am polishing and engraving but sometimes I need to do minor repairs or add a new jump ring. This is when I prefer to use my Sunstone Pulse Arc Welder.

Important to note:
- Start on lower power, the worst thing you can do is too much power and blow a hole in a delicate piece!

- practice a bunch and take notes on power levels that have worked with various metals and the various gauges.

If you don’t have a pulse arc welder I would envelope the piece entirely in a large amount of soldering clay or KoolJool so that you don’t risk oxidation, or worse melting!
