Laurie,

    Aw. That is rough. I can sympathise. I just changed torches, from a
    butane to an oxy/acetylene set up and one of the first things I did
    was melt down a granulated ring, I gave been working on for days. I
    did play with the torch first and thought I had it figured out, but
    as I was soldering on the bezel for the stone, the whole thing
    crumpled. It took about 30 seconds to completely ruin days worth of
    work. But then again I'm fairly new to this, so it was bound to
    happen eventually. 

Off to play with the torch again.
Michelle
