No idea, but I'd try bending it and anneal when it won't bend any more as with silver, but I've never used gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:xmaswelcome: Hi

Not sure for gold, but i do with silver.

if it's thick i anneal both before and after bending, if it's thin I anneal after bending.

After annealing it does'nt try to move apart during the soldering.

If you can bend it like that fine, but it is wise to anneal it before making thefinal saw cut prior to soldering.That way you can close the ends more accurately. Good luck Dennis.
