    A great big thank you to all who replied to my thread and questions.
    there was a lot of help from a few people, I wish I had known about
    the learning curve of palladium instead of assuming or implied to
    that it is similar workings to platinum. in actuality it comes down
    to the details of the technique for working with palladium seems
    quite different then any of the royal metals. it's in it's own class.
    forming, soldering,finnishing,acid etching, even annealing.and not to
    forget the many different alloys of the 950... all that makes it
    harder to switch or use the material. there were 2 very good threads
    one of Mark's and the other of Teresa Frye that explained a lot. I am
    all for the use of the material but it is good to have more info, and
    thanks to Orchid that we can actually do this. I joined the Palladium
    group and I will contact T and M of list for any more info if and
    when I need any 

Thank you so very much
Hratch
