    mj: go to your local welding shop and look for stainless steel flux
    for silver soldering stainless steel. Its called black flux I think.
    It is a heavier flux that does not burn away and let the stainless
    oxidize. I have used stainless in my jewelry for several years and
    found this flux on a trip to get gases at the welding supply store. I
    find that it solves the soldering problems with stainless steel either
    soldering to gold or silver. Frank Goss
