    My *very* limited experience is that you can solder argentium with
    one of those teeny Bernzomatic-type torches. I don't have a fancy
    torch set-up, so I can't compare that to a really nice torch, like
    the ones I've used when I took classes. I've used the tiny torch as
    well as a plumber-type propane torch for sterling, and I do get a
    lot more firescale problems than I did when taking classes and using
    a "real" torch, but obviously that doesn't matter with Argentium.
