    Hi All, I have recently been following the posts about flux and
    reading old ones in the archives also.  I have become interested in
    trying out various fluxes and am wondering about one I have seen in
    an Australian Jewellers Supplies catalogue - it is called Auflux and
    is sold in a 200mL bottle and I think is claimed to have 100mL per
    litre of borax in it.  Does anyone know anything about this flux and
    what applications it is best used for. 

    Also, can someone describe to me how ring bending pliers work.  I am
    wanting to make some rings using 2mm (or thicker) S/S sheet with an
    approximate shank width of 10mm.  Another time I made similar rings
    and found it extremely difficult to bend them - is this the sort of
    thing ring bending pliers can be used for? 

Thanks :)
R.R. Jackson
