thank you for posting this! i want to make a much less complicated necklace of this type (chains on top and bottom with stones between the strands) and this gives a very clear order of operations for that project!

Hi SahaRuh. You can find the solder, heat guns, and torches at Jan's Jewelry Supplies www.jansjewels.com/soldering-paste-soldering-torches-1.html

Hi how are you? I have a question, is that solder that you are using tin?

[@Jansjewels]

Hi Sergio. The solder is not tin solder. The solder is prefluxed acid core solder with a melting temperature of 300 degrees. The low melting point solder is necessary since we are using a heat gun instead of a torch to prevent discoloring the silver plated settings. You can find the solder at www.jansjewels.com/soldering-paste-soldering-torches-1.html

I'm so glad I found your channel it is very helpful! I have one question, I'm looking to purchase soldering wire from your site, which wire is better to use in terms of safety and preformance wise, the one that contains lead or the lead free one? Thank you!

[@Jansjewels]

The type of solder wire you use is a matter of preference. The lead free wire is great but, if you are using plated settings you will not be able to use that wire with a heat gun. The temperature is too high for the heat gun. You have to use a torch. I use the 300* wire for a lot of my work just because it melts fast and I can use it with plated settings without ruining the plating. Unfortunately I have not been able to find any lead free wire that melts at a low temperature.

Her solder is the only one to trust for your projects. I only buy from her.

[@mmartinezmatavaladez251]

your heat gun is it for embossing too? i bossed my wedding invasions and it looks like my mother in laws heat gun so much?

[@Jansjewels]

Yes, you are correct. These heat guns were made for embossing. However, they will only work on the low temperature solder.
