    Ardell's comments and Cindy's writeup have me to wondering... has
    anyone yet had a chance to play with this stuff under a water torch?
    If so, how have you found it to be to work with? I'm using the
    HydroFlux welder (or will be, once again, as soon as the broken bones
    in my left wrist and hand heal), so what's most intriguing of all to
    me is this alloy's lower conductivity, given the diminutive sizes of
    my torch tips. I'm also curious whether my torch's innate fluxing
    will work for or against me with AS, or whether there'll be any
    effect, at all. Has anyone been down this road, yet?
