Hello,
I am new to this and have been trying my best to do some simple soldering jobs but each time the piece is left completely soft and annealed. I am using easy solder and I coat the area with borax first. I have read a little around the subject and so have tried watching the colour of the silver and getting the solder to flow as quickly as possible by heating the whole item but still no joy. How can I avoid this if the annealing temp of sterling is around 600 degrees but easy solder flows at 705 degrees? I'm confused.
Any help would be brilliant... Thanks.
