Non-electronics solder repair, Pace + Artwork
(1/1)
joeqsmith:
I had a good friend who was a world class wood carver. He competed and won several awards and I am lucky enough to have a few of his works. Early branches were all copper and brass. This one is a combination of brass tubes and carved leaves. Sadly I noticed that the twig that the baltimore oriole was mounted to had broke. It appears to have been a cold joint. There's no easy fix so I cleaned up the surfaces, inserted the largest tip I had for my Pace iron and soldered it back together. The paint is oil and I blended five colors to get something close. It has a bit of a shine until it dries.
I would much rather solder 0402s...
