Fuming is a process where you use a precious metal (usually gold -but can be others) and you introduce it into the flame between the torch head and the "object" you want "coated" or fumed. The heat in the flame causes the precious metal to boil off at molecular level from the source and will bond to the "object" further out in flame, there for "coating" the "target" object...
Its a technique to put gold plating on glass object without going through a electrolytical process.....
