    No apologies needed.  I figure that the solder will work ok for flat
    pieces or stationary weld joints especially, however, I have not had
    enough play time to master the flow characteristics of the solder
    yet.  The only thing that I think is going to be problematic is in
    joints that are going to go through flexing, like when making a
    ring.  My experience so far has lead me to feel that the new solders
    are too brittle for the application.  Again however, it could just
    be that I have not mastered the solder yet.
