Ingredients Needed to Make Boric Acid Solution and Flux for Jewelry Soldering

When soldering jewelry, a layer of oxidation (firescale) can build up on your metal. This layer can sometimes be very thin, or if heat is applied for a long time, pretty thick. One of the best ways to prevent this is using a boric acid solution on your metal before soldering. Dilute some boric acid powder in rubbing alcohol (or denatured alcohol). Dip your metal in the solution, remove and light the piece on fire. The flame will burn off the alcohol and leave a thin layer of boric acid on your metal. This layer will help prevent the build up of oxidation when you are soldering. After you complete your solder, place your metal in a pickle pot to remove any boric acid, flux and any small amount of firescale. Flux is used to help molten solder flow into the seams of metal you are trying to join together. Just place a small drop on the area needing to be soldered after you have coated it in the boric acid solution and burned off the alcohol.
