Soldering...again!

James, I'm definitely going to get some of those strips. Would I be able to shape them using No.2 saw blades?

I cut the ends of my strips with size 0 blades, mainly because they are the largest I have as I don't use any larger blades. You could also just file the points or use a grindstone. I have also milled the titanium strips down thinner to 0.70mm. thick for making some clamps.

These clamps were made from the milled down, thinner strips of Titanium.

Ok thanks. I'm a bit limited when it comes to tools/equipment so I'll probably just file them down.

Update...
So I decided to purchase the titanium strips and waited until they arrived before I attempted the soldering again. I used the 'P' shape and have to say it worked a treat! It didn't budge at all! I think that shape might be good for holding bezels and ring shanks in place when soldering together. Anyway thanks for all the help on this.

I am glad the clamp worked for you, this is how I clamp bezels and ring shanks;
