    Here's more info on the gold ID question I posed earlier. 

    I used no deox. I alloyed 14k scrap up to 18k yellow And 22k from 24k
    grains 

    The sheets in question are either 18 or 22k 

    When I asked about rolling smooth even gauge sheets I was wanting 26
    -28 ga. sheet not foil or leaf. Yes, the rollers are very clean. I 
may
    be trying to roll gauge down too quickly,I thought when reducing the
    gauge of gold by rolling it should be done in as few rolls as
    possible. Right or wrong? 

Thanks again.
Nancy
