Bleach and Silver by
Jack Schmidling
My wife was distressed to find that one of the silver rings I made for her
got all grungy from getting bleach on it.
I put a piece of silver into a beaker of bleach and within a minute or two,
it got real ugly.
I suppose everyone else knows this but I sure didn't.
Seems to have almost the same...

Flux by
Kendall Davies
Does anyone have experience of Auflux, Borax, Bakers Fluid, Easyflo Flux
Powder, and/or Fluxite?
I've used a borax cone and it's worked quite well but I have a feeling that
other fluxes may have advantages of which I am not aware. Any information on
these or others available in the UK will be very...

Hi,
I need to know if it is possible for a beginner to solder jumprings that

Do I need to have really expensive tools? I am making chain earrings and Y

Identification of moissanite by
George Hamilton
It is my understanding that the easiest way to identify a moissanite
stone is by its double refraction. Place the stone on a ruled ink
line on paper and look for the double image. Is this correct? (along
with other characteristics of course).

with raised details such as dots and squiggles - think lampwork beads.
Firstly, is there any difference between green, blue and pink wax? Except,
obviously the colour. Secondly, can I make a base sphere and then melt...

vacuum casting and billie goat horns by
Mike72903
A question about vacuum casting. Is it possible to have too much vacuum
capacity applied to the bottom of a small flask? Being a hobbiest and a
dabbler, I don't really have the 'normal' commercial equipment specific to the
casting process. I'm using a Welch belt driven vacuum pump left over from...
