Aha! Thanks Mike. Who wouldda thunk that a CS group would be the place to find out stuff like this? It would never have occurred to me to go looking for instructions on how to solder, because of course, it's obvious, isn't it? Except it is not obvious, I now find.
I had a charming antique gold fob watch once. As a teenager I wore it round my neck on a chain. Over the years the hinge of the cover wore away until it wasn't safe to wear any more. When my husband got a soldering iron I soldered the hinge to keep the charming watch in one piece. This is not something a person who knew anything about anything would do. I now don't wear anything around my neck, unless it's a copper coil a la Lakhovsky. The soldered part of the gold had to be cut out to stop the lead eating away the rest of the gold. Hic transit gloria mundi. Ignorance is not all it's cracked up to be. At least, it's not bliss. Rowena -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
