========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Hi Bruce, You will have to make your own solder. But it isn't too hard to do. If you add about 1% fine silver to your alloy it should lower the melting temperature enough to act as a solder for the original alloy. Cadmium will work even better but it is toxic so you must use very good ventilation when soldering or melting. Make some solder then roll out a thin sheet of solder and a piece the original alloy to the same thickness. Now melt both samples side by side. this trial will give you a pretty good idea of the melting temperature of the solder relative to the original alloy. Keep in mind that the lower the melting temperature of the solder the greater the color difference will be. Hope this helps. Good luck.
