    I just tried to reticulate nickel silver and failed miserably. 
    Exactly what do you do to get it to work? 

    I used 22 gauge metal, in a 2 inch square on a heated charcoal block
    with a flame just like what works on 80/20  silver.  It turned
    black, crumbled off, no ridges at all. 

    While we are at it  - what is the procedure for brass as well? 

Thanks
Judy  Hoch, G.G.
