Can I use 9ct solder on 18ct gold
Hi,
I'm trying to make a kind of birds nest pendant using lots of very fine bits of 18ct gold wire. I have a mix of yellow, white and rose gold.
I've only very occasionally worked with gold before (soldering gold balls onto silver, etc) so I have a few questions please:
1/ To save money, can I use 9ct solder to fuse 18ct gold wire? If so, is there anything I need to change about technique?
2/ When I'm soldering rose to white gold, should I go for white solder?
3/ When I'm soldering rose to yellow gold, what colour solder should I use?
If you have any other hints that you think I should know please do let me know
Thanks so much
Emmy
