    Hi all,  the latest thread on springy 14K bezels brings me to my
    question.  I have some 22K bezel wire that I have been wanting to
    use for quite a while but have been intimidated as I try to move
    from silver to gold.  One response spoke about fusing 22K bezels
    instead of soldering.  I would love some more info on doing this. 
    do you flux?  Is it as simple as forming the bezel and then heating
    until it fuses?  What is the best surface to do the fusing on.  Is
    acelylene/air ok?  Scary stuff.  Betty
