Hi Claire,
One of my friends said there was an inquiry about my book in this discussion group. It is currently on the press and due to be here soon. It will take at least 3 weeks to ship as it is coming from Asia via boat.

Re the IT solder:

IT solder has a very high melting temperature. I don't know what that temperature from vendor to vendor however Coral at Enamel Suppy Works in Seattle, WA (800-596-3257) sells what I used. Her catalog describes: "A hard silver solder used for soldering findings etc. onto your piece before enameling. Melts at 1460F and flows at 1490F"
