What is the "Crazy Glue" that you mention? I live in the UK and don't recognise this brand name. I've often wondered if putting Klyr-Fire (enameller's glue) onto a piece as an initial holding agent would work but worried that the solder wouldn't flow where the glue had been applied. I'm very interested in your use of the Crazy Glue.
I use cyanoacrylate glue-- here in the US it is sold under the name Crazy Glue and Super Glue. if you search for Cyanoacrylate glue you can find it sold under quite a few different brand names in your country. Thank you for this question!
Wolf Clay' us reusable. How many times that you can reuse it will depend on how much prolonged heat you put on the clay. If you're pointing the flame away from the clay, you'll be able to reuse it more often. If you're focusing intense heat on the clay, it's not going to hold up for as many times of reuse. Hope this helps! Go to wolftools.com for more free information on Wolf Clay, and other Wolf Tools.
Thank you for this tutorial demonstrating no only how versatile Wolf's Clay is. And, the tip on how to set up the ring using a mandrel with was paper and glue, super!
Hi, great video, been looking for this stuff, its like the secret no (older) jewelers will share. Kate, I'm wondering about your choice of the fuel/air ratio of your flame, it seems extra rich. Is there a reason for this? Thanks SO much. 🌺
I was using a mini torch. And the whole idea behind the mini torches it's a very hot flame that's directed right at the seam. You don't need to heat up the whole piece so you can really target where the heat is applied and where the solder flows. Glad you like the video! I think you'll like the clay.
