    Just great!  Not only do we have to worry about plat/gold
    contamination, but even the alloy used w/the plat.  Always used
    to be plat/irr and now we see cobalt (a la Stuller) and this new
    plat "S" by Kretchmer from Hoover & Strong.  And just how are we
    to keep everything seperate when doing repairs on often unknown
    alloys???  Almost like dealing with synthetic gems!  *Sigh* Oh
    well, I guess I should be happy that things are progressing so
    fast, keeps the job fresh.
