Flux Solder
Is it possible to solder PMC to silver using an iron? If so, what kind of solder and flux should I use?
I’ve tried to solder a piece of silver made of PMC to a silver jump ring… the solder makes a bubble and doesn’t melt!!! I can’t use a torch because there is glass on some parts of the PMC piece. I must use an iron! What should I do?
Hi:
Did you try to use a hotter soldering iron – maybe that’s the problem that it isn’t heating enough. You also need some flux if you didn’t use that.
I was trying to add a few layers of some pmc to an old existing piece that looked like it was formed from a flat piece of silver, and it didn’t quite form as cohesive a piece as I thought it would, so I basically covered the whole piece. You could get some more liquid paste in a syringe and make a loop similar to a jump ring – that’s what I wound up doing in place of a jump ring and it worked out well.
I’m basically a beginner with pmc but it is sure fun. I got most of the supplies and information from Delphi Glass and PMC Supply. Hope this helps and you get it to work out successfully.
