Beth,

    I have had excellent results with your gold and silver paste
    solders.  Like you, I do not take any special care of them.  I have
    on occasion gotten the needle too hot.  When this happens I use a
    small twist drill bit (I actually keep one next to the tube) to ream
    it out--works great.
