Hello Kim,

    Try taking a small piece of 24K and rolling it as thin as possible or
    if you do not have a roller then hammer this on a hard plastic block
    and when thinner than paper cut a piece slightly larger than your
    project is and do a fusing. This should be practiced on non project
    pieces and when you become proficient at this you can melt the gold
    back in to your main piece. When you reach a level of positive 
fussing
    you will then buy less solder an have equal colour and less chance of
    pits. 

Good Luck, Stephen
