    There have been a few posts that have suggested putting the piece
    with a soldered finding directly  onto the hotplate to reburnish the
    gold.  Using this approach, what temperature do you bring the
    hotplate up to?  Also, is the reason for initially placing the piece
    on a steel or brass plate rather than directly over the coils because
    the plate distributes the heat more evenly??
