Hi Zed,

>     argentium work? 

    When are you seeing this? Discoloration after heating, such as
    annealing, soldering, fusing, or hardening is normal, and is removed
    by pickling. Did you pickle after fusing? If this is happening
    later, did you heat after polishing? Did you use a Goddard's Long
    Shine Silver Cloth as a final polish? This cloth contains thiols,
    which further retard tarnish.
