Hi All,

    Okay,  just working my way through all this Argentium discussion and
    it seems to me that alot of you out there are worried about using a
    "new " material.

    You are worried about breakage of the argentium. Well, think back to
    your first solderings and for some of you that is a very long way
    back. Guess what, I will bet you don't remember breaking sterling? It
    can be done.  I have students who manage to do it all the time. 

    So, let's get pass this and move on, because we are going to find
    alot of similarities between both metals and our venture into them. I
    personally would like to learn more and more about the positive
    effects of using this new metal. Haven't we all been trying new
    metals all along? How about electrum? and if you haven't tried it you
    have missed out on a quality metal. Palladium, hmm isn't that a new
    one also?
