Curious about soldering? Whether you’ve struggled with stubborn seams or want to explore more advanced soldering techniques, this hands-on class is your chance to level up! We’ll demystify the many forms of solder — wire, chip, paste, and even pick — while focusing on their uses with both copper and silver.

You’ll learn how to:

• Choose the right type and flow temperature of solder

• Use flux and understand oxidation differences between copper and silver

• Control heat for small, medium, and large joins

• Set up for success using sweat soldering, butt joints, and pick soldering

• Troubleshoot problems (like pits, gaps, and incomplete flows)

• Use paste solder for efficiency — when and how it's your best friend

• Apply finishing tips to clean up your joins beautifully

Come with curiosity and leave with confidence (and maybe a few small soldered projects too!). Instructor - Sue
