I tried 2 times, one strip of fine silver, 28 gauge, melted into a little ball before my eyes, lol and the second strip reticulated, which I’ll keep for future whatever projects. Jeanette, I wasn’t meant to make sheets of metal shiny, I guess. I cracked up and went back to file and polish my silver, which is totally ok by me. The whole experience was amusing to me….. can’t do it, say fuck it, and move on…. Is my moto. Need to fly to NY and take your classes, hope before next year…

You would be very welcome anytime! You just went a little too far, which is bound to happen when you are learning. this technique is meant to save you time, so if it isn't working for you, just sand and tumble your sheet to make it shiny. :)

Im a novice metalsmith. I've been struggling with fire stain since I started using silver. I use smart flux or regular paste flux to try and protect the surface, and if I'm careful to not get the piece orange hot I can avoid it, but it's a fine line. How come the piece doesn't get fire stain when you get it red hot?

So while I too consider myself a novice, I do know that she is using 999 FINE silver here. Fine silver does not stain as 925 sterling does while heating it. And no flux needed either! I have been using five silver (along with sterling) since day 1 and I find it much easier to work with as I learn to control my fire skills. It will melt if you are too ham-handed with the heat but it's a lovely metal to work with.
