I just soldered bezel tape ends together and the solder did not seep through to the other side. So you can see where the ends meet as compared to the side that the solder smoothed out nicely.
Probably a lame question. Should I heat up from the inside again and just hope that it will seep through to the outside, or is it best to apply some solder to the side that still shows where the ends meet?

I just finished 10 bezels and soldering them to the backing. I had two that did the same thing. All I do is pickle it, reflux it and heat it back up. If it does not take then just put a small amount of solder and that should take care of it. They are times when I am soldering the bezel to the back and end up with a small gap. All I do is just what I explained and 9 out of 10 times there is enough solder there to fill the gap it just may have not been properly fluxed the first time or a small piece of debris.

As of yet I do not have my tip so silver solder is spotty for me but, I do a lot of cooper tube soldering with 15% solder and the reheat trick is what we do, we do not have to pickle. but most of it is the same
