Here is a tip to prevent solder from sticking to your soldering stick from @myth_and_stone - “I learned this tip at the New Approach Jewelry School.....dip the tip of your titanium solder pick in a 50/50 mixture of boric acid and denatured alcohol and touch it to your torch flame. The flame will be green for a second and your pick now has a glassy coating that keeps solder from sticking. To pick up the solder chip I rest the pick behind the solder and let the flame ball it up and catch it when it rolls. Then I use the flame to help me set it into a fluxed and heated metal surface which is tacky and ready to grab my solder.” This is a great tip and it’s good to have this mixture on hand as it is wonderful in preventing fire stain.
