Fusing fine silver bezel wire:
The trick is to have both edges facing each other without any gaps and totally clean. Heat both sides equally until turning red; make sure your light is low in the room working to see the colour changing. Keep a steady hand and the melt will be super quick. Don't worry if you fail the first couple of times, it is worth mastering this technique. Only works with fine silver. Sterling silver will melt down and away from the gap.
After fusing file and sand it down smooth. When possible use thicker bezel wire, as you can always sand/file down the thickness but you can't add more thickness.
I hope this video has been helpful. Ask any questions and I will do my best to answer.
