How Do You Solder A Copper Bracelet?
When you are going to solder copper, it makes no difference whether it is a bracelet, a pipe or anything else copper-related, the procedure is going to be roughly the same. Of course for a copper bracelet, you are working with a possible asymmetrical area if it has been broken, and solders that join copper are silver-colored, so they don’t match the original color at all and will reveal evidence of repair. But anyone with a solid do-it-yourself background should be able to tackle both of these problems. Place your bracelet in a vise or clamp to hold it. If it is broken in two, only one side must be held. Brush on flux to the parts to be soldered together. If broken apart, both sides must be fluxed, and you must brush on flux to get into each and every crevice of the break or else the holding power of the solder may be compromised. If you are soldering a crack, make sure the flux is brushed on and penetrates inside. Heat up the area you are going to apply solder with your butane torch.
