Hi Grace

    The first class I took after a basic metals class happened to be in
    fusing and granulation and that's just how they chose to make a
    bezel. If you solder a bezel shut though, don't you see kind of a
    line where the solder is? 

    I'm not sure technically what the pickling does to the fusing
    process. At this point, I just know it doesn't work :) 

    Thanks to everybody for being concerned about my cold garage, but,
    all I have to say is, you gotta do what you gotta do. 

Thanks
Kim
