    I have a question regarding soldering.  I've been taught when
    soldering hollow forms you should always have a hole in your piece
    to let the heat escape.  In the 10/02 issue of Lapidary Journal Bead
    Annual it mentions in the article "Hollow Silver Bead" to solder the
    two discs together (w/o hole).  Isn't that dangerous?  Could someone
    please enlighten me?
