    Sharron, You are experiencing what is called fire scale.It is
    very hard not ot get and harder still to get rid of.If you can
    evenly heat your pieces and not heat them beyond the point where
    your solder "flows"It will help Pickle well.If the fire scale has
    not penetrated the top layet of silver too deep you can buff the
    fire scale off using tripoli or white diamond.There are many good
    suggestions in the orchid archives. Best J Morley Coyote Ridge Studio
