Making Argentium "dust" and granules or "balls"

Sterling "dust" fuses to the Argentium but not in the same way as Argentium dust and ends up being "clumpy" or unevenly textured. This is a different look and may be fine, but also may create problems when trying to fuse wires on top as it may not be flat enough. I suggest you spend the time to make Argentium Dust at least this first time, then experiment with your sterling later. (You'll gather more dust when you saw out the "scallops" later in the process. Make sure you collect all your "saw dust" as it is the best dust!)

Tip* make a bit of Argentium dust and a few granules. Do the "Test Fusing" to learn that. Now you can make dust out of your test" glob, which will be easier.

Tip* a worn charcoal block is the very best surface for creating granules.
