    Thanks to all of you for your input on torches, silver,
    flexible-shaft tools--this is a great board. (Due to a hard drive
    problem, I lost the name and E-mail address of a nice person who
    responded off-list, which is why I haven't thanked you personally.) 

    All the questions I posted were for just one project, a loop-in-loop
    chain. Getting better at fusing wire into loops--which means only
    that more of them are coming out whole. The thickness is often
    uneven, which I guess means the metal has been heated a second too
    long. 

    What does it mean when the fused section is mirror-shiny but the
    rest is a matte white? 

Janet
