    another question regarding gold bezels please:   sometimes when I am
    doing a gold bezel the solder goes to one side of the joint or the
    other (it sort of jumps over to one side) It doesn't stick to and
    flow directly down the seam as does a silver bezel seam.  The piece
    to be soldered is clean and properly fluxed.  I'm fairly new to gold
    and am wondering why this happens more so with gold than silver.  Thanks all!
