Starting in the morning at 9:30 I had to do some preparationes before
heating up the irons.
The fan was put into correct position.
Flux had to be filled in.

The 2 Ersa Irons I use since 1994. Their power is electronic controlled,
the tool itself is as light as a "pencil", but enables me to work with it like a 150W iron.
I use two of them, because my speed of
working sometimes is faster than one tool allows.
Before starting soldering I cleaned the
ring with steel wool.
The ring is cleaned up, and in right position. Before I put it back to the mold,
I made shure, that the area of the mold
where it rests was perfectly clean, too.
For soldering the ring I take my 250 Watts Ersa Iron, it´s very heavy and I use it
for that job only.
There were some customers in our glass store, so finally I could start soldering at 13:10
beginning with fixing the ring. (250W). The mold is still on the table at that moment,
I put it on a wooden plate with a rotary plate underneath. That makes it easy
for me soldering without running around the table....
That´s what the ring area looked like, when I finished this job.
