You can also lay them flat on a non-stick surface, place a snake roller on top with a little water, and place something heavy on top (bench block, etc.) for about 20 minutes. This will help flatten the rings and make joining easier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003chr data-end=\"2362\" data-start=\"2359\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop Tips:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2453\" data-start=\"2381\"\u003eMake more rings than you need and \u003cstrong data-end=\"2430\" data-start=\"2415\"\u003esave extras\u003c\/strong\u003e for future projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-end=\"2629\" data-start=\"2456\"\u003eTo speed up polishing, place the brass tube in a drill with your dry jump rings and turn it on \u003cstrong data-end=\"2561\" data-start=\"2551\"\u003eslowly\u003c\/strong\u003e.
