Hi,
I have a piece to make that involves inlaying a tiny little piece of copper in silver, about 5mm by 2.5mm and it ideally needs to be about 0.3 mm thick (I usually use 0.5 mm thick copper for the pieces I have sweat soldered and a slightly bigger piece). The size of the overall piece is much bigger about 2.5 cm and will need all grades of solder. Am I going to risk melting the copper piece with it being so thin and small? I can go to .5mm copper if I need to, just would prefer there not be be too much of a lip where the copper if going.
Thanks,
Karen
