    Default Bangle Soldering Problem Solved!!!!!!

    Hi and Thanks to everyone who helped solve the problem of soldering the large bangle/cuff!

    So I thought I would share with you what all the hair tugging was about...............

    Its a little on the funky side, but I am pleased how it turned out and so is my friend whom it was intended for.

    Oh.....Which torch did I use???? Go System QP8066H Quick Pro Auto Swivel Torch (From B&Q £34.99 -15% OFF). Sounds impressive.......Well, it is!!!!
    Max Temp: 1630 degree C and 3100 Watts of roaring power. Used with the Map gas canister......An absolute beauty for those large jobs.

    Can't wait to make another bangle and use my new toy!

    Have a great New Year!!!

    That's really lovely, how on earth did you manage to get the beads to stay on? They look like they are defying gravity!

    Love the end result - are the beads glass or semi-precious?

    And great design - as it's a bangle they'll stay on top of the wrist rather than doing the dreaded swivel to the inside!
