[Jewelry making - Article 00671] - [Orchid] Help with Sweat Soldering

    I am trying to solder a pierced silver pendant on to a thin solid
    flat back, also silver.  I have placed silver solder paste on the
    pierced piece and heated it until the solder started to run, then let
    it cool.  I then placed the two pieces together and heated them
    again.  It's not working though, the pieces are not at all firmly
    joined.  Any help would be much appreciated. 

Many Thanks
Karen
