Greetings,

    I love reading Ganoksin. It makes me feel like part of an amazing
    community of craftshumans, even when I live in a place where
    metalsmiths are few and far between. Wayne Louis Werner wrote that he
    wa s looking for a way to hide the seamon a platinum ring. The answer
    was cleverly hidden in your message- you said you like to use hard
    solder when you can, and you used 1000( a bit soft for platinum) that
    time. I find that 1500 platinum solder matches beautifully- I haven't
    had the problem you described. That's as magic a bullet as this
    peacemonger has up her sleeve.
