    You should spray the whole piece of silver with Pripps Flux or
    Batterns or the like until no part of the silver is exposed to air.
    The surface should be warm when you spray it so it will turn white
    frosty looking. That will keep the firescale away. Check the archives
    and you can find some really useful info about firescale and flux. 

    You can use Argentium and never worry about firescale ever. That is
    what I do. =)
