Don,
(So, Gary, you know Jerry too??) Only on this list. LOL The guy
here works with jewelry and there is soldering involved with some
settings.
(Can you do a dozen hooks for me??) We can try. You probably know
that chrome plating usually involves three metal platings. If it
is steel, first a layer of copper is plated, then a layer of nickel,
and last a layer of chrome. Ads that tout "tripple plated chrome"
don't mean that the chrome is three times thicker. Anyway, the chrome
layer is very thin (compared to the copper and nickel). The point is;
I have not tried soldering to chrome, but nickel and copper are no
problem. So the chrome layer at the point of soldering may have to
be carefully removed to expose the nickel and/or copper.
