This kit is perfect for beginners eager to start their metalsmithing journey and set up their own soldering work station. The bundle features: Gas Torch: An essential tool for soldering to bring your piece up to temperature to allow the solder to flow and join your metal together. Soldering Block: This fire-proof soldering block provides a safe surface to solder your pieces and keeps the heat exactly where you want it. Borax Cone & Dish: This is a traditional flux and suitable to use with all solders. Simply wet the dish and rub the cone in a circular motion before applying the flux to your solder joint using the flux brush. If you find traditional soldering tricky, you may prefer to use sterling silver solder paste - this is a formulation of silver particles and flux contained in a syringe and it is super-easy to use. Sterling Silver Solder Strip: Solder strip is cut into pallions using Metal Sheet & Wire Cutters and applied on the solder joint before soldering. Available in extra easy, easy, medium and hard grades. Insulated Reverse Action Soldering Tweezers: Use these for supporting pieces during the soldering process and placing pallions onto your solder joint. The wooden handles mean they can also be handled directly after soldering. Soldering Probe: Ideal for manipulating solder and metals while heating. Safety Pickle: Placing your pieces into safety pickle solution after soldering removes fire stain caused by heat during the soldering process. Plastic Tweezers: Always use plastic tweezers for inserting and removing items from your pickle bath. Do not use steel tweezers for this as it can create a chemical reaction which causes your silver or gold to be copper plated.
