    Thanks for your help but maybe I didn't explain myself properly the
    first time. (though I thought I did! J Judy, I know you got it! ) 

    There are 3 forms in which you can buy reticulation silver. 

    One is the alloy in sheet form. That one you have to go through the
    repeated cycles of heating, pickling, brass-brushing, etc., before
    you actually create the wrinkles with the torch. That kind I already
    have and have used before : your basic kind. 

    Second is the same alloy, but all the prep work has been done: all
    you need to do is take your torch and create the wrinkles. None of
    your boring ol' heating, pickling, brass brushing stuff necessary. 

    Third is the material already wrinkled FOR you. 

    The first I have, the second I WANT, and the third I don't want,
    because I DO like to do the fun wrinkling part myself. Plus get to
    control it. 

    Hoover and Strong has it: but I thought there might be other sources
    out there that people like more. Also, I wanted to know if anyone
    had tried it and had opinions about it compared to the regular
    stuff, which is form number one. I have wondered about this but did
    not know anyone who had used it. 

Thanks!
Lin
