>>Thank you,
>>Claire>'IT' is a very low melting point soft solder. Been so long I forgot what's in it (ahem); lower temp. than most other soft solders. (which all melt way below the lowest of the brazing-type solders used on gold,silver,etc.). hth

Thanks for the info on 'IT' solder. Is that something that Rio Grande carries?
Thanks again,
Claire
