Months ago, I read a thread on soldering.
It was very detailed with list of items needed and step by step instructions
on soldering sterling silver.

I thought I'd bookmarked it, but can't find that either.
I don't believe the soldering thread was in tutorials, but I've searched the tutorial index and can't seem to locate it.
I've searched the garage sale area too.:sad: Still no luck!

Anyone remember the soldering thread, or who wrote it?

Thanks for any help you can provide.:-P

Thank you Karen and Lea, I appreciate you both taking the time to post.
This is certainly an interesting and educational link, however I'm not sure this is the thread I'd previously read.:(

I thought the suggested torch tool was a small butane torch, such as a pastry torch. I remember thinking, as I read along, "this should be in the tutorial section not here." ---- "Here" now escapes me!

Thank you for taking the time to help me.:smile:

Kay, you got me on a mission! Go to the jewelry section and type in butane torch solder and a bunch comes up. Someone in one of the first threads explains using the kitchen torch for soldering and she explains what you need and how to do it.
I didn't look at all the threads, but there were at least a dozen.

Hey guys - if you come up with the tutorial - please post it here - as I remember seeing it too and would like to use it!

I found this one: Need solder advice (http://www.lampworketc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=164582)

It's one I bookmarked to use later.

Barrie Edwards has good info if you are soldering silver, (as opposed to stained glass techniques). http://www.itsmystore.com/cgi-bin/itsmy/go.exe?page=20&domain=11&webdir=windermere
