    So I am dropping the HOT topic of Firescoff for now but want to thank
    everyone who emailed me. I had never heard of using wet newspaper
    while soldering to protect stones. I went to Parsons and FIT years
    ago, was a production manager of a factory on 47th street, and have
    been in a few different studios where noone had ever used this
    technique. So I am glad to have learned something new and yes,Roger,
    when I try it I will make sure it is very wet! Wouldn't want my own
    Fire CO to have to respond to my studio fire as it would be slightly
    embarrassing, LOL! So what other tricks do people use that some of us
    might not know? What more do you all know about the health and safety
    issues in a studio? I like that this forum may be used for educating
    each other... 

Namaste,
