PROJECT: FISH CUFFLINKS

9: SOLDER, QUENCH AND PICKLE When soldering your cufflinks, heat the entire cufflink face. Hold the cufflink back, ready to press into place once the solder is running. When holding the cufflink back in this way, also heat it as this will help the solder join the two pieces. You may need to press the cufflink back firmly into the cufflink face when soldering it. Maintain heat until you feel confident the solder has joined the pieces effectively, then remove the heat, quench and pickle.

11: APPLY OXIDISING SOLUTION Using a small paint brush, carefully apply the oxidising solution of your choice into the grooves on the faces of the cufflinks. Allow this stain to fully dry before moving onto the next step.

10: PICKLE AND CLEAN YOUR CUFFLINK Once the cufflinks are securely assembled, pickle and clean with pumice powder to remove any leftover pickle or oxidisation. This step will leave the metal with a matt, almost white surface, free of grease or dirt.


FINISHED PIECE To achieve a high finish polish on the cufflinks, take care to polish the fronts and backs of them. This can be done on a pendant motor or a larger polishing machine. Start with pre-polish such as Tripoli, and a courser polishing mop and then move onto a final polish such as rouge, and use a soft polishing mop. Gently rub the pieces over with a polishing cloth to clean off any leftover polish.
