    Thanks for the awesome tutorial! Is there a way to bezel set the stone even though it's straight walled without having to use an epoxy?

    I love that it "looks happy"! Have you heard that each soldering operation raises the flow temp because the zinc depletes first (lower melting point)? I just heard this and it supposedly allows M solder to be used (or H if you start with H) over and over without reflowing the previous join if care is used with good heating. So, each time you do a soldering operation, the zinc burns out a bit more and won't flow with the new operation...Wow, that's a change of the usual teaching, how cool. I haven't tried it yet. What do you think? I love the careful and perfect bezel you made, so lovely!

    Flying Chef YES!!! Absolutely!! I do it all the time - I’ve gotten to the point now where I can make a massive cuff with two grades of solder just because of that! 🥰🥰🤣

    @@robertapihl76 Yay! So glad that works! I always hesitate to get anywhere near easy, especially paste easy. But (!!!) it sometimes just saves the day! So excited to try this new way. Thanks for being such a quality and generous teacher. Hugs!
