Successful soldering is dependent upon several conditions, adisregard of any one of which may mean much difficulty, or acomplete failure. By the close observance of these conditions 66 MECHANICAL DENTISTRY. the difficulties experienced in soldering- (especially by students)may be reduced to a minimum, in fact the operation becomes verysimple. These conditions are : First, contact of the two surfaces to be united. If, for instance,the ends of a piece of plate are to be united, as in the formation ofa band or
