[Jewelry making - Article 00244] - [Orchid] Forgot ring in pickle

Hi all,

    I forgot an 18k yellow gold wedding band in the pickle somewhere
    between 24- 48 hours. The ring was soldered with 18k hard and the
    pickle solution wasn't fresh, so probably not terribly strong(?).
    Has this weakened the solder joint? Should I cut it open and
    re-solder it, or just continue working on it? It still needs to be
    rounded out some more and will have flush set stones in it as well.
    Thanks so much, 

K.
