    To all new members of Orchid, I have to second Peter Rowe's advice
    on Prips flux. Like everyone else, I fought the fire stain problem
    for years. I had always used the old alcohol-boric acid
    formula,which didn't work half the time.The first time I saw Peter
    put the formula out on Orchid for Prips flux, I immediately prepared
    a batch and tried it and said good-bye to fire stain.I never even
    concern myself with it now. Like he says, it's easy to make, easy to
    use.There's literally no excuse for having fire stain since this
    formula works.When making a light weight pair of earrings or
    something similar in weight,I sometimes don't use it,but when making
    a heavy oval belt buckle, bolo/bola tie,or bracelet , gotta have
    it.Thank God for Jack Prip,Fred Fenster, and Peter Rowe.Best wishes
    to all, John Barton   PS Dave Sebaste, please don't you get too far
    away:-)  surely God in heaven has good things in store for you.
