    De De, Years ago I found that I could not repair the ultra fine gold
    chain without having it turn into aball of gold, then one day I
    found that if I laid the chain out flat on a carbon (graphite) board
     the graphite soaked up the heat and I can now solder a single link
    in a fine gold chain. Using a little torch with a fine tip 

    SO perhaps if you acquire a carbon ( Graphite ) sheet or paddle and
    make a clamping device you could hold several chains with caps ready
    to solder ? It's worth a try. Art Smith
