Hi Nardon,

>     gold? 

    I bought a PUK 2 about 3 months ago. It definitly has it advantages
    in wire joining. It's quick and joints are welds not solders. This
    means if you have further soldering to do, the welds stay together. 

    The only draw back is that the joint are welds and the metal has to
    come from somewhere. When you put two wire together, you can get
    divots. In other words the two wire melt together forming a shallow
    dish at the contact point. There are ways around this though. Yes it's
    excelent on White gold.
