Spot or arc welder for small jump rings

[Ruedeleglise]

Hi David, have you not discovered the pleasures of silver solder paste yet? One of my favourite past times is making chains with lots of tiny links. For me silver solder paste shines out as a superb product when closing hundreds of links into a chain. It takes a bit of practice to perfect, but once you get to know it chain production is quick and easy to achieve.
I tried making a video about it awhile back. Here’s a link if you’re interested. https://youtu.be/O84conQ3amI … N

Yes I bought tubes from hard to EE and within 2 months they have dried up! Thanks for the link. I will study it.

Sorry you’ve not had much luck with solder paste. I’ve never had this problem with it, a couple of my tubes I’ve had over three years and they’re still going strong … N

I bought mine from Cookson a few years back and didn’t make anything last year at all. It was fine when doing jump rings for OS this year. The only things I use it for is jump rings and granulation

I bought from same. Kept in a drawer in the house. I just don’t understand it! I did get some out from the tube using a pic and mixed it with a spot of soldar flux. I think it worked….must try that again now…..

Yes it did work but I had to saw the end off the syringe and will now cover it with cling film. Rather messy and defeats the point of having a syringe!

Mine was lying about on the bench with syringe in place and its cap on. I’ve either been very lucky or you’ve been very unlucky. I don’t take great care of very much tbh but my workshop is quite cool generally that maybe makes a difference

I’ve always bought my paste from cooksongold and have never had an issue with it. Maybe there’s an occasional dodgy batch or different supplier with a varied recipe.
I’m amazed how much it’s gone up in price lately, my tubes have lasted 2 to 3 years and I suppose over time everything has had a price hike applied … glad I’m not using gold paste … N
