    Thanx for your advise oh sage ones out there.  I have just started
    some filigree work with garnet sand and it isn't as easy as I thought
    it would be. After setting it up in the dry sand I try and put my
    paste solder onto the places to be joined.  The piece sinks into the
    sand, the paste ends up with sand all over it and the whole thing
    becomes a right mess. Maybe I would have better luck with a charcoal
    block but I don't really want to be defeated by garnet sand as yet.
    Thank you so much for such a wonderful forum!!!!     Addy
