    I just looked at Bradney Simon's article on soldering chains.  

    http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/jewelry-repair-chain.htm 

    I assume he is tallking about sterling chains...Yes?    When he says
    paste solder...is that the solder you usually use with a soldering
    iron ?  If not , what is it and who sells it ? 

    He says not to polish a chain with the buffing wheel...however, if
    you tape the ends of the chain - taut- to a board, you can safely use
    the buffing wheel.....just can't have any loose chain able to be
    grabbed by the wheel. 

    Thanks for the answers to my 2 questions.    Lilyan Bachrach
