| PLATINUM SOLDERS |
When joining platinum, there is no fully adequate substitute for welding the objects using a small chip of the same alloy that you are working with. This method guarentees perfect color match. However, manufacturing assembly considerations often make this process impractical. Below is a listing of our most popular platinum solders. We strongly recommend using the highest temperature platinum solder that your process will allow, as the higher temperature solders have a much better color match with most platinum alloys than do the lower temperature alloys. The lower-temperature alloys are suitable for joints that will be hidden within the finished piece, or for items that will be subsequently plated.
We currently offer platinum alloys in 1 pennyweight pieces only. The Extra Easy platinum solder is also available in paste and powder forms..
