    Rhodium plating platinum is nothing more than a way to cover  up low
    karat gold soldering that got into areas where one does  not want to
    see that yellowish tinge that will occurs over time.  As said  by a
    few of you, proper soldering techniques along with the proper amount
    platinum solder and polishing is all that is needed.  In addition,
    platinum should be burnished before it's polished, this will harden
    the surface and help make it slightly more resistant to those scuff
    marks  clients complain about.  I have worked with platinum for over
    30 years and  very rarely have problems other than with poor
    castings or bad metal that I have  started with. Of course I don't
    like that cobalt platinum that was being  used for a while.  

    May all of you have more work than you know what to do with this
    season.
