    I think I am missing something in this entire thread. What does
    using a fine silver bezel have to do with whether you solder or fuse?
    Also, what does pickling in between soldering do that effects
    fusing??

    Also, I work in my basement which hovers around 55 and that's too
    cold for me without running a heater. I just can't focus when I am
    cold, I don't know how you can get any work done in that cold an
    environment.
