Argentium

I was guessing wildly. I think that there are less polite words to use for someone who *knows* that the stuff is twitchy at heat and then leaves it unsupported while torching it...

Well, at least I knew why it broke too.

Upon "Reflections" maybe Magic metal IS what's needed

It would be great to know more details of your testers' results. Does it behave more like Sterling or Argentium when soldering and fusing?

I'd love to try this especially if it fuses as beautifully as Argentium.

sorry haven't got the answer on fusing yet, I'll post the answer as soon as it comes in.

I've just seen the other thread, Rob, where you say more like standard silver - thanks.

How about balling? My finger is twitching over the Argex buttons as I really need some wire but I can hold off for a little while.

[Rob Taylor]

The answer I've had re: balling is it's comparable to std silver in terms of speed of balling, shape achieved, size and consistency. Before polishing, the Reflections balled wire was brighter than the std silver (which was black)

That's a shame Rob. Oh well, Argentium it is.

[Rob Taylor]

Please be aware we have not compared wire balling on Reflections side by side with Argentium

Rob, what we need to know is whether the balls pit, as they do with sterling, or if they are smooth, as they are with Argentium
