{"product_id":"bead-soldering-disc","title":"Bead Soldering Disc","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Bead Soldering Disc supports beads and hollow forms during soldering by providing indexed resting points arranged in a radial layout. Components sit on the disc surface rather than being clamped, allowing unobstructed flame access and even heating. Machined from titanium, the disc resists solder adhesion and oxidation while remaining stable under repeated heat cycles. Unlike mesh or improvised supports, the disc maintains consistent spacing and orientation, making it easier to solder multiple components efficiently. The disc can be used with a wide range of metals and soldering setups on a flat soldering platform.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports beads and hollow forms during soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadial slot layout maintains spacing while allowing open flame access\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium construction resists oxidation and solder flow\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable on flat soldering platforms\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used with all metal types\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoes not rapidly heatsink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStable weight and thickness prevents sliding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow It’s Used\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe disc makes it easier to solder beads together by keeping components evenly spaced while heat is applied.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlace the Bead Soldering Disc directly on your soldering platform.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet beads or hollow forms on the slots so they rest on the disc surface.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply heat and solder seams as needed.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMaterial\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrade 5 Titanium, 125\" thick\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat’s Included\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne Bead Soldering Disc\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWho It’s For\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJewelers soldering metal beads or hollow forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInstructors teaching bead fabrication\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBench jewelers looking for repeatable results\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCare and Notes\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTitanium will discolor with use.
