I just spent a good 45 mins. digging through my change jugs and managed to
turn up 6 quarters and 3 dimes Canadian, didn't even make wages. <sigh>
Found a couple bucks of spendable US coinage though so tomorrow's coffee is
paid up anyway.

Do I need to use anything besides my 4 pts borax : 1 part boric acid for a
flux?

Thanks.
