Timeline:
Power Control:
Begin by ensuring the laser power is not set too high to avoid making a hole in the earring. [00:36]
Wire Placement:
Carefully place the laser wire into the split groove of the earring, using the smallest point size on the laser. [00:43]
Laser Application:
Activate the laser to melt the wire onto the earring. [00:52]
Power Adjustment:
If the earring is made of silver, increase the laser power slightly. [01:08]
Black Marker Application:
Apply some black marker pen to the area being repaired. This helps with heat retention, as the silver earring can dissipate heat quickly. [01:35]
Material Addition:
Add material to fill the split using the laser. Any excess can be tidied up later. [02:28]
Shiny Surface Management:
Be aware that when the material becomes shiny, it reflects the laser and reduces its effectiveness, especially on silver. [03:47]
Material Blending: Once you've added enough material, use the laser to blend it in and smooth the surface. [04:17]
Seam Creation: Work the material up like a seam, following the split all the way to the top of the earring. [04:43]
