    John-- (foot in mouth disease) Maybe you (or someone out there) can
    "redeem yourself" by answering a different question...     I'm
    disappointed that no one has seized on the question about using
    copper carbonate for fusing. I happen to have a pound of it, so I'd
    really like to know whether mixing it with flux or flux and hide
    glue will encourage fusing. Since it is copper *carbonate*, will it
    also supply the needed carbon? It's a solid-- so will it supply
    anything? I tried it for fusing silver to silver, but can't really
    say for sure how well it worked.I can say it did no harm...   I also
    fuse gold to silver, but haven't tried it for that yet. I'm teaching
    a workshop on silver fusing this weekend, so it would be great to
    figure out whether copper carb is a help! Thanks for any help!
