Here is another quick way to modify your pliers for forming from @greeneriverstudio - “I love this waterproof Nexcare tape for my pliers when I don’t want to mar my metal. It’s squishy with just the right amount of grip and I can remove it when it gets too torn up to keep using. These are the earrings I’m working on. Totally cold connection, and I want to keep my labor time as minimal as possible as these are not very expensive. This helps me save time from not having to clean them up!” 😄 Thank you so much for sharing this! I think the added squish from this tape definitely is an upgrade from plain ole’ painters tape! 🙌🙌 #metalsmithsociety #jewelrymaking #jewelrypliers #jewelrymakingtipoftheday
