Question I am trying to make earring using 14g s/s wire. I want to join the ends. Can I use some sort of solder? Thanks
Mark
Answer Greetings,
I am unaware of what the different gauges are....I - like most Europe, UK and Australia - work in millimetres.
Nevertheless, You cane use sterling silver solder, which you'll be able to obtain from the same place that you got the wire.
Detailed explanations on soldering, are in previous answers.
