    After reading some of the most recent posts, I will have to admit
    that I am nervous about Argentium too.  I have not read anywhere that
    it solders more like gold, which would mean a completely different
    approach and more than likely using a smaller torch tip.  I normally
    heat my bezels from the top - would I want to approach like I was
    soldering gold - with a smaller torch tip up close to the solder join
    (more local heating)???  I can see most of this will be trial and
    error - I just hate to error too much!!!! 

Thanks for tips.
Grace
