Thanks all. I'm going to bite the bullet and buy a set!
Thanks Dennis. I'm not sure what undercut means?
I have done some cuttle fish casting recently and am now thinking of getting the Delft casting kit. The main things I'd like to cast are small shells to then solder on to bigger items. Would the...
My dremel tool broke so I have replaced it with a dremel 4000 and flexishaft. I understand that I can use a foot pedal with this set up? Would appreciate some advice of which foot pedal would be...
Oh, and the tippex? Do you just cover previously soldered joins? Wash off before pickling or straight into the pickle?
Ok thanks. I'll take a look at titanium clips. I've not heard of them before!
I've heard that a certain type of cat litter can be mixed into a paste and then used to secure pieces in for soldering. Has anyone used cat litter for this and if so, what type. Not owning a cat my...
Well I never! Turns out Durston are just up the road from me! Just waiting to hear back whether I can buy one directly from them!
Thanks for the advice. Cookson can't sell me an F80 but are happy for me to return at no cost and get a refund. I am trying to find somewhere to buy the F80 from but can not find a uk seller. ...
That looks perfect! I can't see it on the cooksons website though and not sure where else I could buy it from for a similar price?
Can you buy replacement flat rollers for a Durston?

I am inclined to get a refillable torch as I found the go system quite bulky in the hand. So would the max torch and/or the dremel versaflame be an upgrade in power and heat from the micro torch...
I'll be taking the tips on board for my next piece.
Another questions regarding reticulation.....I have a micro torch at the moment which came included in cooksons solder kit. I'm finding it hard to...
Thanks Dennis!

I'm just about to attept this for the first time. Thing is..how do I solder the bezel to an uneven surface?
Any tips appreciated

I have some lovely pieces I collected on a beach in Wales.
Thanks Alan. Some great tips and I will get some of the drill bits to try. I have plenty of glass to play about with so will...
What is the best way to drill holes in sea glass? I believe it has to be done underwater? I have a dremel that is mains powered so I'm wondering how this can be very safe?
What drill bit should I be...
In relation to the thread topic. I used a wire brush and now the silver has just gone a dull tarnished colour after just a few weeks. Why would this be?
Would they work ok with a dremel?
Great!
Thanks for all your suggestions. I have some steel wool and some yellow radials so will try these first. I'm quite new to texturing my pieces as up until now I've been focusing on as bright...
What is the most effective way of doing this?
I've tried with a wire brush but the result looks scratchy and messy.
So let me get this right. If I'm soldering a bezel on to a wide band ring, do I make a compete bezel cup with a base before I solder it on to the band or do I solder the bezel ring straight on to...
