Hi,
I’m trying to soldier bezel edges on its base but for some reason the soldier won’t flow.
I’m using 0.5 copper for both edges and base, with a medium soldier (silver).
I’ve used the same soldier to soldier the edges/border/surrounding for the bezel together and on couple of other copper rings and it worked just fine.
I’ve tried everything, including heating the base from the bottom, making sure the metal is clean, flux is not contaminated and applied correctly but the soldier still won’t flow. Although as soon as I place the solider on the heat block it would melt.
Any ideas what am I doing wrong? I just had a very frustrating day!
Thanks [emoji120]
