Hi all.

I just recently tried to solder two pieces of sterling sheet together on top of each other. They measure 56mmx5mmx0,8mm...it's for a ring shank, and instead of the shank being 0,8mm thick i want to double up and go with 1,6, i know the easy way would be to buy some 1,6 sheet, but i would rather use what i have instead of buying more, trying to not use to much money plus i want to learn this skill. The way i did it was the way i've read it, melted some solder on piece A, quench, pickle, file the "bumps" down, put piece A on top of piece B solder facing down of course and heat, remembered flux at every step to. The results i got was the solder didn't flow all the way around or when i tried to bend the shank the soldering came apart i guess indicating that solder hadn't flown into the whole gap. Any tip or advice appreciated.
