I'm working on a copper countertop for a wine bar (wooden bar wrapped in copper sheet metal). To keep the bar waterproof, the seams between the copper sheets have to be soldered with lead-free solder (non-toxic). I'm wondering if we could disguise the solder color by leaving a pool of the copper sulfate/vinegar solution on the finished seams, with a strip of steel wool laid across the top?

@theyakninja
@theyakninja 5 лет назад
Did you try the steel wool method, but without the steel wool? My guess (I might be wrong) that it's not necessary. The copper ions from solution will switch places with more reactive metal (like iron) on the part surface. Well silver solder consists mostly of silver, which is less reactive than copper, but also of other metals like zinc, tin or lead, all of these are more reactive, so by my guess the piece of silver solder will turn red after simply being immersed in the copper salt solution. It will work better with the easy solder as it contains less silver. The electroplating just makes that process faster and makes it possible to plate even less reactive metals like silver, gold or platinum. But what's the purpose of the steel wool in this? Except for just wasting a bunch of copper solution. I don't have copper salt on my hands right now so I can't try, but if you did that that would be nice, I would really like to be proven wrong. Thank you for the video.

So if you do this with an off brand apple style cellphone charger (or other unknown charger), make sure you use a GFCI outlet, some of the cheaper brands have an unfortunate design flaw which may make one of the low voltage wires actually connected to the 120v AC hot wire of your electrical outlet (ungrounded conductor)... it's a nasty shock if you complete the circuit to ground with your body. To avoid this be sure to use an original apple charger 😉

Question: I didn't use silver solder, but I did try the steel wool method on other solder and it's not working. Copper plated the steel wool, but not the solder.

@GomeowCreations

It should work on what ever solder you used. Try pulling the steal wool apart a bit and wrapping it around the part that has so solder. You can also use the steal wool as a brush and apply the copper solution directly to the parts you need.

Please excuse my ignorance, but I've watched the video numerous times & have read through all the comments looking for my answer. I've cut the small end off of both, an android and an apple charging wire and have peeled back the insulation only to find 4 more insulated wires and some bare stranded copper wire inside the android charger and 5 more insulated wires and a big wad of silverish colored stranded wire in the apple charger. My question is which wires to I solder to the alligator clips? Thanks in advance.

I honestly don't know but it sounds like you have a type c and lightning cord so it has a lot more wires. You can Google the wires for them but I suggest getting a cheap cable from some ware that happens to be a micro USB to make things easier.

Or if you have like $60ish you can get a bench power supply that would work a lot better

@@GomeowCreations I've got a rectifier but it's dedicated to my electroforming tank. I just wanted to dedicate another, separate jar, aside from contaminating my pickle pot, that I can use to quickly hide the solder lines. Thanks for your quick response, I really appreciate it and your videos.

Dude. I like that you are making your own solution. But Copper sulfate? ever heard of it. That's the Copper salt that's commonly used in electroplating copper.

Less options when it comes to different melting temps and it never looks just copper it will be a dull silver or a yellowish brass.

Put a small amount of pickle in a container with an iron nail then put the item with the solder to be copperplates in the the container, in about 5 minutes your solder will be copper. DO NOT use this pickle to clean silver as it will end up copper. If this happens make up what is called a super pickle.

@@GomeowCreations colour and melting temp depend of the brand and compozition....you just need to experiment. Next time try higher curents and dont hang it in one place it has to be agitated and plating proces should be from 10sec to a 1 min.....1.2A LED strip transformer works well for me.

@@GomeowCreations but in every video i have watched whilst wanting to learn about SOLDERING hand made clasps for my crocheted and sewn projects is how i stumbled across this video today. I live in the UK i am english born and bred and was really confused as the words SOLDering Iron is pronounced correctly but the the word SOLDer was pronounced SODDer... Just an observation. Yes it is oddly pronounced and it threw me and irritated me to the point i thought as an english person i would try to help by pointing the mistake out. Didn't mean to offend. It was an observation. I know the english language can be complicated. P.s if i was speaking french and mis pronounced i would expect to be corrected by a french speaker to help me. :)
