========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Hi Orchid, i'm having a small issue with porosity in my granules.I am doing a lot of work lately with fusing fairly large argentium granules (like 4-6mm or so) as the center of my filligree mandala pieces. I make them by melting clean scrap on a charcoal block with a propane watch repair torch. I still use a cheap bernzomatic plumbers torch for all my work, it's what I learned with and I like it... anyway sometimes my granules have some porosity that doesn't show up until final polishing, requiring me to go back and burnish and rebuff it. Does anyone know of a way to reduce porosity when melting granules on a charcoal block? Here's a link to one of my 3d filligree pieces on etsy: http://www.ganoksin.com/ftp/il_570xN.506277594_91km.jpg Thanks, Douglas
