    Practice is definitely not making perfect, so I took Judy's advice
    and ordered some Argentium Easy solder. Probably should have started
    out with Easy solder, since this is my first time using Argentium
    wire. 

    Trevor, why is indirect heating better than more heat? Also, it
    doesn't seem to matter which flux I use; the ghosting occurred with
    Prip's, 99 Flux, and a generic, yellow liquid containing boric acid.
    I'm assuming that the yellow liquid is Gesswein's version of
    Battern's flux.
