    Thanks Jim,  for the link to buy it, but is there a way to make
    smaller batches other than having gallons of it shipped?  And also, I
     have only used it in the past to coat the gold, not run it through
    any torch lines, so having a more "volatile" form, makes me bit
    nervous! 

    Does anyone know the proper ratios?  And the best source for boric
    acid? (Someone recently told me to mix cockroach poison with
    alcohol......hmmm any comments on this one?) 

    Much obliged for any Orchidian insights!
