    Hello people, A little help please. I'm trying to get 24Kt foil over
    the japanese alloy Shibuishi with little luck. I've tried foil down
    to 0.0025mm. but only got it to stick by using a caustic lead solder
    flux. The piece to be overlayed is an inlay itself into a steel sword
    guard, so its a pretrty big piece. All tests to date have been with
    16 ga. shibuishi at 25 % silver. Any thoughts wouls be 
    appreciated. Regards, Mac
