Here is a tip for securing components during soldering from @mdtc_handmade_jewelry Alex uses clay. That is the green material you can see in this video that is used to secure the individual prongs of the setting. Then plaster is poured over that. The plaster is dissolved in water. This is a fantastic video and I appreciate you letting me share! #solderingjewelry #clay #processvideo #makingart #makingjewelry #jewelrymaking
