Hi Debbie N.,

    I like to use the Argentium solders, since they match the color of
    AS better, and tarnish less than traditional silver solders. However,
    since they have not had as many years of development, they do not
    flow as well as the older silver solders, which have been without
    cadmium for over 20 years, now. So, some people, such as Grace,
    prefer to use traditional silver solders. I have written several
    articles about using AS, discussing soldering issues. Two are on my
    site, and one is at www.riogrande.com.
