Video Lesson #11 Fixing a Crack or Adding a Ball to Edge
Yup. Sh*t Happens. We need to be able to fix it. Not a problem; Argentium is very forgiving that way.
Where it is NOT forgiving is with any kind of pressure at red heat ( or even cooler than red.)
Don't poke the bear and don't press on or move the Argentium when its hot. but if you do... oops, you can usually fix it in the same way we fix this crack. Flux first, fill with extra metal if needed, Fuse away! Clean up any extra metal or roughness with abrasives and polish. Done!!
If you have a major break (rolled wire texture too deep & make a weak spot?) Reinforce that broken or weak spot with another decorative wire and some decorative balls where needed. Fuse them on. You can keep fusing until you solder, then you can't, and must solder to add or fix from then on.
