    I was always told by my Master Goldsmith that silver solder joints
    were made brittle by extended periods in acid based pickles. 

    If you want to remove firestain then heat and quench in pickle three
    to four times. 

    Other than that, there shouldn't be any need to leave silver in warm
    pickle for very long at all.
