    The best place to get bi-metal is Reactive Metals-
    http://www.reactivemetals.com. If you are looking for 18K bi-metal
    Hauser- Miller carries this- http://www.hauserandmiller.com.

    Hauser and Miller makes and sells it in a variety of karats and
    gauges. Unlike the copper+silver version, gold+silver bi-metal is
    also quite easy to make. You can fuse a 28 gauge sheet of nearly any
    alloy of gold to a 22 or 24 gauge fine or sterling silver base then
    roll it down to the desired final thickness. The trick is to use a
    larger sheet of silver than gold and concentrate the heat on the
    silver edges. The gold gets hot by conduction. For me this works
    best with an air/acetylene torch. Victoria

    I used bi-metal (silver+gold) 4years ago. I tried to buy it in Rio
    Grande the other day, and they said they don't have it. Anybody
    knows about where I should get a bi-metal? Reactive Metals is my
    favorite supplier, you can find them here at Orchid and on the
    internet. Donna in VA
