Sheridan,

    Yes, it is possible to solder and melt noble metals with MAPP and
    O2.   If you add O2 to the MAPP it will problably give you several
    thousand degrees. It is expensive however and you can probably
    accomplish the same thing with propane and air!  In fact, many people
    use simple propane which burns quite a bit lower in temp then MAPP.

    elegance IS fine jewelry! dcdietz AT comcast.net
