    Thanks everyone for their great suggestions. It's obvious I need to
    learn more about the differences between working with silver and
    gold. I was using 26 ga. without annealing, never having had to
    anneal silver bezel because I mostly use fine silver, except for
    large stones, where the sterling holds its shape better for
    soldering. I'm looking forward to not having burned fingertips from
    working with silver any more.
