One of the most common questions asked by students is which soldering surface is best - charcoal, solder boards, fire brick, honeycomb board, etc? And what's the difference? Time to share the answers! 

Join Joe Silvera, author of Soldering Made Simple and Soldering Beyond the Basics, for a Zoom talk about soldering surfaces, including the effects of holding tools and materials. This simple but important topic can make a big difference to your soldering successes or failures. 

Topics include:

• Survey different soldering surfaces
• Pros and Cons of soldering surfaces - what operations are they best for and not so good for
• Choosing the best surface for the kind of torch you use
• Heat sinks - the good, the bad and the ugly about their influence on efficient heating
• Exlploring holding materials, like soldering investment, pumice, clay and grain. 

Sign up today join us for a free discussion about soldering surfaces, an often overlooked but important part of soldering. 

All registered participants receive a recording of the talk afterwards, so even if you can't make it to the live JewelryTalk, you can watch it later.
