• You must make sure that you use a hot flame directly on the solder and joint. Platinum is a poor heat conductor so the joint and solder must be directly heated. Its OK if the platinum turns red, it should to have the joint fuse properly. Remember, to melt platinum to molten you must get to white hot.
