Greetings...

    Has anyone tried chasing and repousse on shibuichi (50-50 silver and
    copper)? If successful how thick was the material? On a red pitch or
    black pitch? Shakudo 4%? 

    Wanted to deep raise some material today out of 14g stock and cannot
    move the metal even with a 8 ounce hammer. It's tough. Want to make
    a small, complex ornament. 

Bill in Vista
