    Default Argentium Flux

    Hi,
    Those who use Argentium, do you use the Argentium Flux, the liquid variety ( similar to Au flux) if so what is your opinion of it

    I bought it to compre Bob, but did not see any difference from Auflux, so don't bother.
    The solders flow more sluggishly and the metal is very fragile when hot.
    So hollow forms tend to shatter when pressed while glowing, even by a too tight clamp. Dennis.

    Ok thanks I have also purchased some but to be honest I do not think it is as good as Au or borax maybe I am doing something wrong it just seems to burn to black coating very easily
    as you say Argentium behaves quite differently to Sterling I am a convert it is just the difficulty it finding supplies that annoys me
