    Can someone (I think it's one of the Trevors who writes it) repost
    the link to the blog about Argentium? I just ordered a little to
    work with and I can't find the post with the link... 

    In particular, I'm wondering about heat-hardening of the alloy, and
    any tips people have for trying to solder it for the first time.
    I've mostly soldered regular sterling silver but have also soldered
    copper and 14k (but only sterling recently....) I know not to use
    hard solder and to be careful not to melt it since it has a lower
    melting point - is that it?
