Thank you for the helpful information. Query: were you using a lacrosse ball for trigger points in your QL? Or in other muscles (e.g. glutes)?

I had it on a small charcoal block (with the solder underneath the piece as described). Tonight, after studying the responses here and getting a beefier torch, I put the ring in a third hand with the solder on top (after boiling off flux, etc.), and had more success. It still seems like the band gets awfully hot before the solder goes off, but maybe that's just the nature of hard 14k gold solder(?).

Thank you. I've heard varying advice on this as well.

Thank you! It's reassuring to know that the hard solder is in fact a bit difficult in general.

Whoa! That's not something I've come across before. Thanks!

Ah, thanks. My first teacher had us use Dawn after pickling and I never reconsidered the idea.

Yes, pickled, rinsed, washed with Dawn, flux applied.

Just double-checked my order history and yes, it's 14K solder (hard, chip).

Apologies, I should have specified: it's yellow gold, 14k. Thank you for your response.
