    I think Peter was being a little tongue in cheek, saying this,
    however, I'll add that using Crinkle Bi-Metal does not precluded
    knowing the hows and whys of reticulation. Before recommending it, I
    had plenty of students, who confessed they had previously bought and
    used the 80/20 alloy from H&M without knowing how to prepare it or
    how reticulation works! (Results varied!) 

    Since the David H. Fell & Co. topic seems to be on this thread as
    well, I'll jump in and say I've always had great customer service
    from them. I began ordering from them when I discovered their zinc
    free 18K yellow and transitioned to ordering all my metal from them
    as I found their customer service to be exceptional. 

Mostly always prepared for anything,
Victoria
