Hello:

    I want to carve in wax my own end caps to later cast for production
    and then solder onto a 1.6mm snake chain ( I want to do this in high
    volume) However, I have never been able to successfully solder onto a
    snake chain a commercial end cap without a small part of the chain
    hardening up so I doubt I will have any luck with my own designed end
    caps. I even tried to job it out to a production jeweler and her
    soldering job was worse then mine. Help! Is there a trick to
    soldering on anything to snake chain??
