[TheForge] Zinc soldering

[Janet Switzer]

Zinc is used for countertops to get a country (think Hoosier cabinets) 
or old-world look. You might want to think of how years of use, 
scratching and tarnishing would make it look when deciding how to 
distress it.

A little Googling turned up the following websites for ideas. There are 
many more.
