I make a lot of wide hammered bands & spinner rings! I would say that the trickiest part of making these rings is lining up the seams perfectly. If they are not flush, the solder won’t flow and you could have a gap at the joint or worse…it could crack when you go to flare the edges! Tips… • Always use hard solder. This will be stronger & sturdier. • I use a pencil to color in around the joint on the outside of the ring. Pencil prevents solder from flowing everywhere. • Once the solder flows, I flip the ring and heat from the outside to pull the solder through towards my flame. You should see a little line of solder on the outside of the ring and on each edge. Want a coupon code to purchase this ring in my Etsy shop? Use PINTEREST2023 at checkout!
