Working with bi-metals

I know there are some of you that have worked with the bi-metals. I
have just purchased a small quantity of copper-sterling and
shibuichi -sterling. Help I don’t have a clue as to how to proceed
and work with either of them. Do I saw and heat and fold etc just
like regular silver or copper? will they turn brittle if heated too
much? Any would be helpful and thank you ahead of time.

There are guides that come with every piece we send out. If you want
new copies contact us off line. Bill
