    I concur with Cynthia Eid on Argentium silver "---it sounds too good
    to be true! Incredibly, it is true." No firescale & little if any
    tarnish!  I'm SOOoooo glad it's available from Stullers!!  Now, I
    would love to see chain manufacturers use it so the rhodium-plating
    could disappear. At this point the only down side is when making head
    pins. I've found that the little melted ball wants to fall off, so it
    limits the size and wire gauge. I suspect any melting operation will
    be an opportunity to experiment. Wonder if anyone has tried to
    reticulate it??? Cynthia? 

    Thanks for sharing the bit about using Goddard's cloth for a final
    wipe-down; it was news to me.

    Caution is necessary when walking around!
