new fused rings

As I have a new MAP gas torch now, I am able to do fusing easier. I only had a small hand torch up to now. With the MAP gas fusing only takes a few seconds, while it took several minutes with the small torch, if it worked at all. But if you heat a little bit too long, the silver flows away and covers the whole piece of jewelry, which didn`t happen with the hand torch.
But this effect I want to use in future to create surfaces that are plated with a thin layer of silver. For this you can use silver scrap, that accumulates by the time. Maybe I will do this with the inside of copper rings, so they won`t tarnish the skin anymore. On the other hand some people want the tarnishing effect of copper for health reasons  (relief of arthritic pain).
