I do an enormous amount of pulse arc welding, and continually develop new methods for better outcomes. If you've ever had trouble welding silver alloys, this wire will increase your productivity and give you outstanding results! Works on silver alloys and other metals including bronze and steel.
Each coil is enough wire to fill a Speedwire dispenser that you can order from Glenn Manning. If you would prefer not taking the time to wrap the wire around a mandrel, simply drill a small hole in the bottom of the Speedwire dispenser and snake the wire through after cutting the cable tie.

Crack-free welding! I cleaned then started to fill a split seam in a teapot (notice the open seam to the left of the welds). Standard sterling would have resulted in center-line cracking and an unstable weld. |

Another instance with crack-free welding as I flooded a three-way split in a sterling box (enlarged) with my sterling/platinum wire. |

Testimonials • I have been using Jeff's sterling/platinum wire for laser welding for years and absolutely love it! Jewelers often have issues welding silver and this wire is a game changer. Its color matches beautifully and I can hammer on my seams and the welds don't crack. Also, It requires 15% less power on my laser welder than standard sterling. Orders are always shipped out quickly and it is an essential wire in my shop. At this point, I won't ever be without it! Matt Tuggle, USA • I got in touch with Jeff through Facebook about his Sterling/5% Platinum wire. He advised me to use this wire for laser welding. After a week I already had the wire at home. Obviously tried out immediately and indeed it welded nicely and without shrinkage cracks. After his tip, I also bought the speedwire and put the silver wire in the speedwire via the YouTube videos on his website. I am very happy with Jeff and was super quick to respond to questions. Jeroen Wagenaar, Netherlands • I've tried the wire repairing a cuff bangle. Very impressed with the smooth flow of the wire in application. I feel the bond is superior as well as being a bit more malleable. Dean Irvine, Australia • I ordered the silver/platinum wire because I had some filigree to repair. I was very hesitant to Puk this, because of the extremely fine wire of which the to be repaired object was made of. Jeff convinced me that I could do it with this wire and so I did. It works wonderful, it is very smooth and sticks to the silver really well. I was very surprised that is was so easy to do this repair with this wire, I wouldn’t be able to have done this with normal silver Puk wire. I highly recommend this wire for all silver Puking. Stephanie Kofmehl, Netherlands • The wire worked out perfectly. Definitely melted better than the silver wire I had pulled myself. Steven Kaye, USA |
