    I really appreciate the soldering hints. My problem is I usually
    make my own findings with tubes and solder those on the ends of snake
    chain. But I never know if the solder has run in the little tube, so
    over-soldering or under-soldering seems to be the problem, while
    also fusing the chain. 

    I still don't understand the difference between sterling foxtail
    (Thanks for the warning Alma) and snake chain. Is it functional or
    just a different "weave?" 

Thanks for all you insights.
