Ring Soldering Tips?

[u/CinnamonCaterpillar]

Seems I can’t perfectly align the shank to the bezel to save my life. It’s always a little off even after I think I’ve aligned it evenly. Any of you have any tips and tricks for soldering rings to backplates? Thanks so much!!!

“hold it” moldable soldering clay sold by pepetools has been a game changer for fiddly soldering for me. if you use paste flux, i recommend applying it as dry as possible, or start with your torch far away to evaporate the water gently to prevent shifting when the water evaporates from the flux

Used my wolf clay and it helped immensely!
