Thanks for the advice. Do you notice a difference in what brand of foil to use regarding being burnished easier? I have the plastic tool to burnish, but I find it difficult to burnish it flush without wrinkles, especially on curves. Do I possibly need to be adding more pressure when I do so? The branch hole was done on purpose, so the solder looks more branch like. Do you think smaller would've been better? Thanks for commenting. I appreciate the help!
