Hi all,I'm thinking of purchasing a soldering tool for some of my silver wire work. Any recommendations? I've spent a little time on google groups but didn't find too much specific to jewelry or silver craft. Any info y'all have on brands, prices, retailers, etc would be great!tgif : )Jennifer

Silver solder melts at too high a temperature fora solder iron to be useful. You might look at a Blazer mini torch. They runon butane (the gas used to fill lighters). They areinexpensive. They are easy to control when makingsmall pieces (as with wire). For larger items, you will require something bigger.Like the plumbers torch you can get at anyhardware store, Home Depot, etc. They also willsell the gas tank refills. They are very inexpensive.BarbaraDream Master Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.~~ Albert Camus

Hey, Tina, how do you have that tested? Sounds like it would be fun (and would be interesting to track over time.) (I'm such a geek!)

Thanks, Alison

I was tested at a carreer workshop. It was wonderful news, because it finally made sense of my dropping things and my inability to catch etc. I haven't been tested by a neurologist, which would be more definitive.
