    Default Solder and Enamel

    I have a request to produce a couple of items that require soldering then enameling in Argentium, problem, will hard Argentium solder withstand the temperature required for enamel.
    I have been refferred to a expert on Argentium unfortunately this person obviously is too busy or I am not important enough as my emails are ignored.
    I am hoping some one here may have knowledge of this.

    For enamelling, the kiln is set at 820º. If you look at this table bob I dont think it's on. http://www.silversmithing.com/1argentium5.htm

    Thanks Dennis, I was afraid that would be the case I think I may have to do it the hard way with lots of engraving, I now know why no one was interested in the job, saying it can't be done although the older I get the wiser (more stubborn) I get, so
    I am determined to make it work
