I have long struggled with how to solder a piece once the resin has already been poured. Last Tuesday I went where no man has gone before and invented a way to solder metal that has resin inside of its structure. Now by no means was this a major soldering phenomenon but I was able to solder a jump ring to a bezel. The resin did get soft but it hardened quickly after I finished soldering. My biggest surprise was that there was no discoloration of the resin nor did it catch on fire:-) Given the flammable nature of resin in its liquid form I was praying that this process would not trigger a heat reaction from the resin. In the back of my mind all I kept hearing was the robot from lost in space saying Danger Will Robinson, Danger, Danger. Ordinarily I would give this process away for free, but my concerns over the safety issues prevent me from doing so.
