So now to do incredibly thin items what I use is my normal parameters but I'll lower down the milliseconds.  Say instead of using four milliseconds I'll use 1.5.  So we'll go all the way around, use low power.  Here we have a small jump ring and just to show you how small this jump ring is, bam that's a dime.  Now with waxes you're going to want to do just white gold settings, 205, 4 milliseconds and six hertz. Now the thing with wax is that you're gonna have to hold them in place until it melts and then hold them until they raise up.
