    Hi all, Those of you who work with high karat gold and do fused
    chains and bezels, who do you currently recommend as a supplier for
    this kind of 22K gold alloy? My Jean Stark book recommended Hoover
    and Strong. Then I read in the archives (not sure exactly when these
    posts were written) about some people having trouble with the Hoover
    and Strong alloy and that it was not fusing properly. Sounded like
    Hoover was using Jean Stark's recipe and it was working well at first
    and then some people started having problems with it.  Allcraft was
    then recommended as having a good 22K. Hoover and Strong may have
    fixed their alloy but I would appreciate any opinions before I invest
    in the gold. I certainly don't want to invest in gold for the
    purpose of fusing and then have it not fuse properly. Thanks for any
    info you can offer-Carrie Nunes t-pnunes AT comcast.net
