In this video, Professor John Ahr of the Online Jewelry Academy
demonstrates the finer points of pick soldering. Pick soldering is where solder is melted on a surface and moved to a solder joint by poking it with a soldering pick. This method works because the meniscus of the molten solder grabs onto the cool point of the steel soldering pick.
