    All I can say is...WOW!  I'm absolutely overwhelmed at the sheer
    volume of responses I've received to my question both on and
    offlist! You guys are absolutely amazing!  I can't thank you all
    enough!  I'm posting a public "thank you" only because I had far too
    many responses to reply to everyone individually! 

    ...and thank you also to the people who commented on my jewelry.  I
    consider myself to be fairly proficient at making jump rings and
    assembling them into chainmail, but at anything else I am the newest
    of newbies so your praise means more than you can imagine! 

    I've decided that since I'm just learning to solder (and I need to
    put in a wire order to Rio anyways) I'll just order some
    commercially prepared flux to start and do some experimenting with
    the alcohol/borax/boric acid/TSP possibilities once I've gained a bit
    of experience. I purchased a syringe of paste solder a couple of
    months ago and just found it again the other day (isn't is amazing
    what you discover when you move?) so I'll break that out for a bit of
    experimentation as well. 

    Once again, thank you so much to all who rushed to my rescue and
    after this experience I certainly won't hesitate to ask questions in
    the future!  :D
