    God idea, Karen! By the way when buying solders I recommend you arem
    yourself with the solidus/liquidus properties of them all (hard
    medium easy), as there seems to be no worldwide agreement on this. In
    NZ we can buy 12 different grades of silver solders if we choose from
    the 4 or 5 suppliers, all sold as H M and E. Trap for young players:
    one company's medium solder has a liquidus higher than another
    company's hard!
