    the full article is on my website: www.cynthiaeid.com. The sagging
    info is in the section about soldering.

    Hmmm. I'm wondering if you are getting it annealed correctly? See
    the annealing section of my article for tips. If you are heat
    hardening the AS, then I suggest using fine silver for the bezel. 

Best wishes,
