@swampwitch shared this amazing production tip... if you are newer to jewelry making "production" is when you are creating multiples of the same piece of jewelry in one go to be more efficient and cost effective with your time! - “"I use the soldering clay in place of offset crosslocking tweezers when soldering dozens of earrings at once. This method works with round hoops and stud earrings as well, plus oddly shaped pieces that are hard to stabilize with t-pins or 3rd hands. Used clay goes in a separate bag for re-constituting. Bonus tip - placing all my padded posts in the block or a "pincushion" of clay allows me to pick them up quickly while soldering lots of earrings at once." Two tips in one! Thank you for letting us share! How do you use soldering clay? Email me pics at
