Becky,
I'm off for spring break next week so if you want to come over I would be happy to give you some pointers. Not that I am great but I understand how most of it likes to be worked.
Anyone wanna come HERE for spring break and to show me how to use my new DH glass? :^)

Start with the reducing colours first. Easier to get results. Use stringer until confident.

Probably because more often than not, you only use small amounts at a time.

Part of the cost relates to the silver content.

Use a neutral flame. It doesn't tend to be a problem.
