Can you go back and solder again after cleaning if you realize a part needs touched up or to add jump rings?
Yes, it is possible.
There are some conditions, of course.
- Clean the area back to the bare solder.
- Use a small amount of paste flux to avoid lots of clean up of flux. Paste flux will stay pretty much where it is put and does not spread so much as liquid flux does.
- Apply the solder as usual for the area.
- Clean again as for the original soldering, but without metals.
- Rinse in cold water and pat dry.
- Add the patina immediately.
- Polish as usual.
Finished!
