jab_sc Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hey all you Electronic Solderers,I realize that most folks that are soldering electronics don't concern themselves with the asthetics of their soldering, but rather the quality of the connection and not over-heating the electronic component etc. but I have a soldering project with Women's Jewelry in which I need to keep the Sterling Silver wires nice and bright.I can make fairly high quality and nice looking solder joints but after a few hours/days the sterling silver turns grey (silver oxide I suppose) and I think this is due to my first treating the silver with flux paste (this is how my dad taught me to solder wires in electrical machines etc). I believe that the flux strips or cleans the silver and makes it want to turn oxide afterwards.I have been told that there are "pickling or pickle fluids" that will stop this turning of the silver. Does anyone in the community know enough about chemistry or silver-soldering to help me. Thanks.jab in South Carolina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
