    Ok, I'm beginning to feel like a total dork, but for the life of me I
    cannot get a clean solder on a ring made with 14k palladium and
    silver. I'm using 14kw hard solder from rio and paste flux. The
    joint is clean and tight. Either the solder doesn't flow or it does
    and pools in one place. Tried propane torch alone and oxy/propane
    torch. Help!
