    Sandra, you can make your own powdered solder, but it's a royal pain
    in the patootie, but OK for small amounts needed. There is a silver
    solder supplier, but the minimum is 10 oz. at $25 USD/oz. I don't
    need the whole 10 oz. and will be willing to split an order with
    someone or two. If you're wondering what else you can use powdered
    solder for, it's the absolute best way to do sweat soldering or
    laminations, and for making your own paste solder. The usual type for
    jewelry is #70 (hard, 70% silver content), because powdered solder
    flows much easier than paillions. Contact me off-list if you're interested.
