Argentium projects update

It's been quite a while since I made the pendant and the cast ring. I am happy to say that each are wearing quite well. There has been no signs of tarnish on the ring or the pendant. We have noticed considerably few scratches on the ring and the scratches that are there are quite shallow. Good news!

Argentium Solder has Arrived!!!

I finally was able to get some Argentium solder! Now it’s time to get back to work. Can’t wait to give it a try. I got the following:

Hard = 1355 F
Medium = 1319 F
Easy = 1253 F

Note that the flow temperatures seem to be quite a bit lower than that of regular Sterling solder.
