Hi, Estelle,

    You can fuse granules of 24k, 22k, or even 18k. Yes, you can fuse
    gold to silver-- either fine silver or sterling. The trick is to get
    the granules attached but avoid overheating at all. If you heat too
    much, the silver will coat over the gold and alloy with it. It will
    no longer look like gold, and it cannot be fixed. For me, some days
    this works, and other days I can't do it at all.

--Noel
