    Okay, on this thread... I have a strange question... 

    I have created some sterling pendants where I solder a dome onto
    another sheet.  As a hole is needed for the gases to escape, I
    usually create a heart in the back of the piece to make it more
    attractive, to compliment the piece. 

    I use steel shot to polish,(could not afford stainless when I bought
    it, but it has held up for 3 years already) . However, because of
    the size of the 'heart' in the back, I am getting  the long striaght
    shot pieces stuck in my dome.  So, how can I keep that from occurring
    without having to make the 'heart' size no longer look complimentary
    to the piece? Do I need to purchase different shot that won't fall
    in? 

    Any help would be appreciated.  I truly appreciate the inspiration I
    receive on Orchid...  (and thank you Metals-Edge!)
