I use a 100/160watt Weller soldering gun for electronic soldering jobs. It handles everything I've soldered, up to 14 guage wire easily.This gun is 200Watts. I suspect it would be like trying to use a blow torch. You might try something in the 30 to 75 watt range. Called both soldering pencils or soldering irons.If you can swing the extra cost, look for a 'soldering station', better models have an adjustable heat range. You can set to heat to exactly the temp you need.

Lisa... I have never used it to work on jewelry. It is a heavy rugged tool and to be honest with you, as far as using it for precision work like jewelry, I don't think that this is what you want. Shop for a Soldering Iron instead of a Soldering Gun. Hope this helps... Rico

I would think so, maybe using a cotton ball. I have only used it on jewelry though.

I bought them for pmc and polymer clay pendants and they're good for jewelery sized shapes.Michael's crafts should have a few too to compare size in person.

It would work great. I use it for craft beads. Get the plastic see through so you can see what's in the bottom.

You can use it on gold, yellow and white ,,platinum and most stones. Not pearls.

I suppose you could use this for bending flat wire for jewelry but it's not really made for small intricate work. Say for example you want to make a small ring or circle; the smallest this item will do is approximately 3 inches. Also, the rollers are knurled so it will leave marks on your metal which would need sanding and polishing.

I think this resin would be great for such a project. I would lightly glue embellishments, stones, shells with a dab of E600 glue or Mod Podge before pouring resin, things have a way of moving in resin and some items have a tendency to float to the top. There is another resin that is jewelry specific, I think this resin would work fine for your project and recommend it highly above any other brand. This can also be bought in gallon bottles not so much at the craft stores but here on Amazon. if you have big projects, do the math it might save you some just divided the oz. by the price and compare. Best of luck. I think this resin would be great for such a project.

I would say yes. It's very strong and waterproof. I've used it to make several corsages and boutineers.

It probably would be alright I was useing on jewelery and I find it doesn't hold up to water over time,but for Sculpty clay it should work fine.

No, it is to hot. You only need a small torch and the stainless steel wire. Check online for jewelry welding.

This set works good. I use mine to polish silver jewelry. Not sure how much time or detail you are putting into your wheels.

Yes it works great! I use it for gluing gems to my natural nails plus I use it for gluing the plastic press on nails from Claires on and they stay really well.

I use these to make bales for my filigree jewelry. It has a graduated side so you can bend things to different sizes. I love using this but what are you going to make with these? It might be a help in wire wrap jewelry making too.

It is really very pretty and yes, I gave it as a gift but I do believe it is nice enough to be used as a jewlry box. And, if you don't like it, it can be returned. But again, i thought the entire box was very preyy and I bought another one (different song) for my mom.
