answers to.
I am ready to buy a torch, hotter than my butane one at home. I have

bronze, but brass or steel will do. I've searched everything I have, and
the internet. It seems like a very odd size, if I could find rectangular
tubing an cut off a side that would be great.
I've been thinking of ways to make...

Soldering palladium by
lemel_man

with an oxy/hydrogen flame, but I can't find the article anywhere. I use
oxy/hydrogen for platinum and would like to use it for Pd too. Does
anyone have actual experience with this please?

And the damned crap is magnetic fer Pete's sake!
Who thinks these things up? Stuller?

Any suggestions on a pigment to give an off-white or slightly brownish tint
to a porcelain (about 1200 degf) that uses titanium oxide for white? A
source for small quantities would be helpful too.

Aquamarine Prices by
[email protected]
I just purchased a ring for my wife to commemorate our 3rd child.
Since we have two March babies, the ring has two 5mm aquamarine
stones. The jewler charged $400 each, saying they are AAA quality.
This seems high...does $400/ea for aquamarine sound right?
Thanks.

Should I apply patina to the mokume gane before soldering, or
