    Most platinum solders will polish out of the joint (and they  don't
    have a good color match either)and it does not really matter if they
    are easy, medium  or hard. The new Plumb Platinum solders from PM
    West greatly reduce this problem but the best way to deal with it is
    to weld the platinum rather than soldering it.
