    Hi Janet, This is not a problem that I have encountered. If you are
    pick soldering, as many do, you are by definition pre-melting solder
    or melting it twice. I have soldered white gold together and have had
    to adjust it -or reflow the solder with no problem. 

    The problem I had when I did more white/yellow combos was that white
    gold solder seemed to gain a much higher melting point when used on
    certain yellow alloys. (Or the other way 'round, I can't recall). Not
    sure why this happened. 

Andy
