    "James in SoFl" et all! (gre-e-eat post) 

    I also call this remarkable invention..my "bent nail" tool ! It '
    burnishes ' by way of MOVING little layers of gold at  slight
    increments due to the 'hitting' process from the face of the rotating
    face of the nail. You can actually cover surface pin holes easier
    than soldering. Soldering will at times, have porosity and/or
    discolouration due to the solder used. Why use this solder method
    when you have actual gold covering up the hole?...Try not to use a
    high speed rotation while using this method. Make absolute care that
    the tool is held SECURELY and TIGHT in the chuck". After the surface
    holes are 'covered', file to trim and polish at will ! 

    Electric hammer 'pounds' flat and doesn't move laterally, this tool
    moves the gold horizontally!
