Uh, Tristan weren't you just recently expounding on using soldering flux making a mokume billet? Should I find the post? I have a lot of jeweler friends who dissolve borax in water as a brush on penetrating flux for precious metals. Borax isn't a cleaner it's a prophylactic oxygen barrier. Frosty The Lucky.

teenylittlemetalguy Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I had been using my phone so I think I replied to you on another string. basically I think it might be a good idea after the stack is in compression. I worry about people trying to flux the actual faces. I think that would be detrimental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Yeah and I haven't done enough mokume to have a valid opinion. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time, sometimes I just get stuck on a thought and can't keep my fingers off the keyboard. Frosty The Lucky.
