Metal mesh to make 2.4ghz faraday cage for BLE/WIFI

[tautech]

Soldering the edge joints of a woven metal mesh doesn't prevent bad contact between crossing  wires in the weave, hence my comments above.  I *really* wouldn't fancy trying to get a solder joint on every wire crossing in a fairly fine weave mesh - as, assuming a 3mm wire pitch, that's close to 4500 crossings to solder in a 20 cm square 'window'!   

No problem with a 12mm iron tip and 3mm solder.
Properly prepped you could possibly drag solder it......if the iron element could keep up.

a screen or mesh only needs joints bonded, welded,or soldered at the edges or frame
