    Now I have a coil of this stuff & a bottle of flux and no idea if I
    can use it in emergencies for my sterling pieces. 

    Oh, trouble!!! That kind of soft solder turns corrosive to Sterling
    at higher temperatures! It has been discussed on Orchid before. Some
    people will use tin solder for quick repairs, but it is generally
    discouraged. 

Hi Friends!
