Kevin Kenny Posted September 25, 2022 Share #247 Posted September 25, 2022 I am very envious of your soldering skills. I am not seeing any heat sinks?

How are you keeping the previous joints from melting?. hello Kevin and thank you for your appreciation. As you can also see from the last photo, I am using a heat-absorbing paste to protect the soldering done previously and I must say that it works very well! I simply cut the sheet metal with a pair of scissors as the thickness is very thin (0.25 mm). You can't see it in the photo but I use a wooden counterform for assembly. tkay11, mtaylor, Peanut6 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted September 26, 2022 Share #250 Posted September 26, 2022 One trick when silver soldering is to paint joints you want to protect using a paste of yellow ochre powder in water. A jeweler taught me this technique. tkay11, mtaylor, Peanut6 and 1 other 4 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Kenny Posted September 26, 2022 Share #251 Posted September 26, 2022 I did not know there was such a things as heat absorbing past. I am assuming that this is different to the ochre powder. mtaylor and Peanut6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cotrecerf Posted September 26, 2022 Share #252 Posted September 26, 2022 A different approach to protect some silver soldering joints in short distances from each other is to use silver solder, mild, middle or hard (requiring the highest heat) in stepped succession, i.e. hard solder first and then down the temperature line. These silver solders are available in sheet or wire form. Kevin Kenny, dvm27, mtaylor and 2 others 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
druxey Posted September 29, 2022 Share #253 Posted September 29, 2022 If the joints are close, even with different melting point solder, the ochre technique is insurance! And yes, it is regular yellow ochre powder. Just mix it into a slurry with a little water and paint it over the joint to be protected. albert, cotrecerf, PeteB and 1 other 4 Quote Be sure to sign up for an epic Nelson/Trafalgar project if you would like to see it made into a TV series http://trafalgar.tv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Kenny Posted October 16, 2022 Share #261 Posted October 16, 2022 Are you using a Smith’s little torch or a soldering iron. I am now setting up my soldering work station. I finially got the Smiths torch working correctly however All the fluxes i had do not work with the high temperature solder that i got from my Jewler friend. Just ordered a Borax cone and plate on Amazon. He gave me three different sets of solder, medium, soft and extra soft, and i have the same honey come ceramic plate to do the work as you show in your pictures. I did put a wooden frame on the edges as it seems very brittle. This is to make up all the bronze pieces for the rudder.

giampieroricci Posted November 1, 2022 Author Share #267 Posted November 1, 2022 With these few pictures I try to explain how I do my welding. The parts must be well cleaned and kept in contact. With a brush I spread the flux all over the part to be soldered. With a flame soldering iron I heat everything around until the flux starts to boil. Now it is time to apply some of the solder, which is a silver-based rod. Care must be taken to protect soldering joints already made with a heat-insulating paste gjdale, CiscoH, No Idea and 10 others 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
