    For gold and silver the traditional flux is borax.
    However many members use Auflux, which is a yellow liquid dispensed from a bottle. It is convenient, and tends to bubble less when heated.
    There is a dedicated yellow liquid for Argentium, but I suspect it is the same stuff.
    I have no experience of platinum. Dennis.

    As above Borax, I use Argentium all them time, I do not like the dedicated Argentium flux.

    Thank you to everyone. That's been very helpful.

    Thank you also for the advice to stick to one metal. Yes, I am a total beginner, and I will heed that.
