Silver Foil Dilemma

Hi - I am curious whether anyone has had experience fusing or
soldering silver foil to brass or copper mesh (or, alternatively,
fusing or soldering copper foil to mesh). I’ve also heard that foil
differs from one place to another (some is much thinner or thicker
than others). I really want to try this but really don’t know how to
start. I need advice before experimenting. I have seen some pieces
in the past that have incorporated this, so I know it can be done!
First-hand advice from experience? Books to consult? Thanks in
advance!
