#sponsored For this week’s #tooltalktuesday I am so happy to show off the Hold-It! Positioning Clay for Soldering from @reneefordmetals (Jeweler + Instructor) this amazing clay can be molded into all types of shapes and then you can use it as a prop 🤯 You can also use it to support prongs and I’ve also used it to provide heat protection on spring clasps (and other small elements) when soldering jump rings closed. I always find I’m able to reuse it multiple times, however if you are hitting it with a lot of heat it is normal for the surface to burn slightly. Renee says to reconstitute you should add warm water. You also do not want to use this to heat protect gemstones, just wanted to clarify that. This stuff is absolutely amazing to have at your soldering bench, to purchase you can head to reneefordmetals.com you’ll be supporting a small business and you’ll also be making your life at the soldering bench easier! Renee is also offering free first class domestic shipping as part of this release until April 10, no code necessary! Thank you so much for tuning in for this week’s tool talk, if I can ask a favor…please leave a comment about the type of tools you want to learn more about in the coming months. Be as specific as you can. If you read the comments and you want to second someone’s suggestion go ahead and like their comment!
