Would this work for jewelry soldering or for soldering small brass items like dollhouse beds?

No, does not have the right tips and probably does not produce enough heat to melt the solder.

I used it to make a leather cutter blade repair and had to file it to fit. It was harder than a lead/tin solder but I'm not sure it would have the wear qualities you require. It may be worth a try considering the price of the product.

The soldering gun works for solder base metals, steel, copper, brass, as well as gold and silver. It will NOT solder aluminum. Sure I have seen aluminum solder and flux....it doesn't really work all that well. This is not the fault of the gun, but the properties of aluminum.Harriete Estel Berman

I would say yes, as long as you sand of the metal, if paint is on it, to ensure the soldering is applied. Be careful as the soldering tip is extremely hot

I assume you are asking about copper or copper plated wire. You can do that with a regular soldering iron but the Lee melter at a pretty high temperature would work better. have at least 15% tin in the mix of lead or use pure tin.

Intended for strings...don't know if it works with brass. Operates on vibrations.

Any fine diameter silver solder will work fine. Rule of thumb is to always use solder with a smaller diameter than the wire you're trying to solder, I always try to use 0.032 for just about anything.

It does make things easy to stick together well with solder. Great for tinning wires.

This heat gun is NOT for soldering or de-soldering. This is a heat gun. It would be better used to heat components to see if they were heat sensitive, or to use the blower setting to see if they would react to being cooled. Actually the best use and I sense the gun was designed for, was as a heat gun, is to heat shrink tubing...It has two temperature settings and really is able to point the heat only where you want it to be used.

Honestly I think it could melt low temp metals. I dont know the melting point of copper. On large pieces, given some time, I do think it would melt soldering materials. I hope this helps.

Depends on what part of the laptop you want to solder on and your skill. I wouldn't suggest trying to solder tiny parts. But for attaching cables and such should be fine.

I'm not sure what those are, but use it for stained glass soldering and it's not hugely powerful. I have to have it within 6 inches of the item I'm working on.

Not me, but as stated in my review, I would not consider this solder strong enough to repair cooking utensils,although it is very useful for other purposes such as fixing light jewelry.

I purchased Ameriflame to braze copper, but it has performed well in light welding. It has completely satisfiedall my brazing and welding needs. Good Luck

NO, not designed for that function. A continuous heated solder Iron would work nicely.

I did some jewelry making with silver solder before in school, but we used torches, not a solder gun. We used natural gas torches, but you could do it with a propane one. I think you would have a better time if you bought a torch and some other equipment to do this kind of work. Don't forget your protective gear too! (faceshield, ventilation, etc)

I haven't used it for soldering anything but Cu wire, but I know that his solder is not made for your purpose. Any solder joint, other than pure lead, made with acid flux will corrode with time. Therefore, I wouldn't advise it. Look into materials for brazing metals, which generally requires hotter temperatures than common solders and also requires a torch, I believe.
