Solderite Soldering Board (6x12").
A Solderite brazing board is a type of heat-resistant board used in jewelry making for soldering and brazing metals. It is made of compressed ceramic fibers and is designed to withstand high temperatures without warping, cracking or melting.
The best uses for a Solderite brazing board include:
-
Soldering or brazing small metal parts together, such as wires, chains, and jump rings.
-
Holding metal pieces in place while soldering or brazing them.
-
Protecting delicate or heat-sensitive items, such as gemstones or beads, from the heat of the torch.
-
Providing a stable work surface for soldering or brazing projects.
Some unique uses for a Solderite brazing board in jewelry making include:
-
Creating texture: The surface of a Solderite board can be used to create texture on metal by pressing the metal onto the board while soldering or brazing.
-
Shaping metal: The soft surface of a Solderite board can be used to shape metal by pressing it onto the board and using a hammer to shape it.
-
Annealing: The heat-resistant surface of a Solderite board makes it ideal for annealing metal, a process that involves heating metal to a high temperature to soften it and make it more malleable.
-
Metal clay work: Solderite boards can also be used for working with metal clay, a type of clay made from metal particles that can be shaped and fired to create metal jewelry pieces. The board provides a stable work surface for shaping and drying the clay before firing.
