    Hey James, are you using boric acid powder or boric acid granules? 
    I'm using the granules and doing pretty much what you describe.  The
    firecoat works well (which I guess means I shouldn't fret about it),
    but the solution is clear, with undissolved granules at the bottom.
    My metalsmithing friends all seem to have milky white boric acid
    solution, so I guess they're using the powder. 

    Seems to me the results are the same, but I just wondered if I'm
    doing something really weird. It wouldn't be the first time :) 

Cheers,
