Fusing Sterling Silver

I apologize for submitting this question when it has already been
answered, but I need a bit of clarification. In a previous message
someone suggested treating sterling silver with a mixture of boracic
acid and alcohol before fusing. Would I then follow the same steps
given for fusing fine silver? Is there another way to do it without
having to solder the metal? Thanks in advance for your responses.
