Can’t post the URL, but if remotely interested check out plumbers mat on Amazon.
I’m pretty sure that one of these doubled up between the bangle and flesh would have provided adequate protection against an electric soldering iron melting a small amount of low melting solder - and I would have tried on myself first��
In the event I have opted for a solution requiring slightly less heat - a 2cm length of clear heat shrink tubing over the catch. A wet face cloth provided adequate protection from the hair dryer used to shrink the plastic. The plastic can hardly be seen and can easily be removed using a sharp knife…….
