Decorative Soldering is the act of adding, removing or modifying the solder any solder joint to give it a design that is not a Solder Bead. Depending on the type of design or end goal other Solder Alloys can be used in combination with what is already existing to easier achieve the desired result.
Types of Decorative Soldering
Decorative soldering can be broken down into three categories.
Additive Decoration
Additive decoration is where solder is added to an already completed bead.
Subtractive Decoration
Subtractive decoration would be the removal of solder from a completed bead.
Modified Decoration
Modified decoration has no change in the total solder applied but designs are put into the completed bead.
