130 forum posts 45 photos	Hi, I want to make some rings of silver solder wire to suit the size of the joints I am making. I remember reading how to do this by annealing the wire to make it soft but, senior moment, I can't for the life of me remember where I read it. So can anyone tell me how to do this? Ta, Hugh
