How to Make Silver Solder

In this video, I show you how to easily produce some high quality silver solder. Unlike gold solder which can be challenging to produce in the home studio (luckily master alloys do exist) silver solder can be easily make with just silver and brass!
By using various ratios of sterling to cartridge brass (also called yellow brass, 70% Copper and 30% zinc) one can produce a range of melting grades of silver solder. Generally a 3:1 ratio of sterling to brass produces hard solder, a 2:1 ratio provides a medium grade and a 1:1 prodices easy solder, however due to its dirty nature and displeasing yellow hue I rarely use easy solder. I recommend you stick to hard or medium.
Enjoy :)

If you want Real hard solder add 10gm of silver 1gm of zinc

Can we prepare solder without copper?
Please explain the results and ratio of silver solder without copper ❤❤❤❤

Interesting.

Thanks

NICE INFO, WHAT'S THE RATIO FOR SOFT, & MEDIUM SOLDER.

Hi
I'm in the UK we can't get shell cases will any brass do? thanks

[@argentummoonjewellery3503]

Yes. Here I didn’t use shell casings either, but the alloy of 70% copper and 30% zinc is common in casings. Silver solder is really easy, so you should have no troubles!
Good luck.

Soft jewelers brass is 70/30 any sheet brass meant for forming or bending ought to be the correct alloy. Not to be confused with machining brass like C360 which contains other metals such as lead and iron to improve machinability

I have done this same steps with 999 silver & brass but my solder turn out to look really yellow . ive purchase

No re than 50% silver is ever used
