Is this really gold? by
Ignoramus27199
I was given a gold chain as a birthday gift. It was nice looking and
glittery in the beginning (circa march 15). After I wore it

"faded". It is no longer...

Good Ultrasonic Cleaner ??? by
Jay Canale
Can anyone recommend a good ultrasonic cleaning solution. I have tried the
ones from Rio, but I am not happy with the results. Seems like the cleaner
has to be very hot to be effective. Also, my hands are starting to show an
allergic reaction to the solution. Any help would be great.

rolling then drawing by
Carl West
My rolling mill has the customary series of 90 degree 'v' grooves for
rolling 'square stock'. The bottom of the groove has a flat so that the
final result is a square-ish octagon instead of a square.

When I take the resulting wire and begin to draw it...

Most of my gold repairs are on 10k and 14k gold. Usually no problems.
