JEWELLERS CHARCOAL BLOCK

140mm x 70mm x 30mm

Available in a choice of Hard compressed blocks or Soft natural blocks.

The soft light natural blocks are the more traditional and the hard heavier compressed blocks are a more modern version.

Opinion on which is best seems to differ from one jeweller to the next which is why we supply both.

The hard blocks reflect more heat in a shorter time.

Professional jewellers charcoal block is used as a surface on which to solder or melt precious metals.

Simple shapes can be carved out of the charcoal and small pieces of metal melted into them.

Binding wire can be pressed into the block to pin or hold down pieces while soldering.
