Hi Larry,

    I am very interested in your experience fabricating with palladium.
    I am familiar with the alloy Hoover and Strong is producing: 950
    palladium. I have made very limited tests - the extremely high
    melting temperature and subsequent high temperature for soldering
    seemed to indicate that it was similar to working with platinum. I
    have no experience at all with platinum. My torch set-up is
    oxy-propane. Hoover and Strong didn't have much advice to offer me. 

Regards,
