    Greetings, you masters of metals! I have googled and boobled and
    searched the archives with abandon, but I cannot seem to find a
    recipe for "blue gas flux".  Surely someone knows!  I was given a
    sample by someone I cannot seem to track down, and now the stash is
    dwindlling fast! 

    I have found that using  it in place of paste flux for balling the
    ends of sterling and 18kt gold wire for headpins and earwires,  I
    experience much less frequent pitting. 

    Would also like to know why this might be.....(admitting I am still
    a bit of a novice with the torch), and what experiences any of you
    might have had with it. 

    Thanks for any input, this digest is always a pleasure to read. 

    Much obliged! M
