    I have ordered a paste solder that is in a syringe from John
    Bernardin at PureGold.  His phone is 510-262-9560 and his email is
    jbernardin AT msn.com.  He is my supplier for heat treatable 24k that I
    use for  my new Woven Collection and is a very nice guy to work
    with.  The 22k solder is a good match for the 24k wire but it is not
    the easiest solder to work with.  I have found the best luck by
    squirting it out and beading the solder up into little balls and
    thereby separating it from the paste flux it is suspended in.  I
    think this type of solder may work best by kiln soldering but I am
    using a torch and soldering under magnification so I can control
    precisely where it goes.
