Are you a jeweler now with some experience?
If so you can pick it up pretty easily. FaceBook has a group “Ask Jurgen”. He answers platinum questions.
You’ll need appropriate dark welding glasses,
oxy/propane or natural gas. Oxy/acetylene will work if you ALWAYS use an oxidizing flame.
NO flux. Good luck!

Hi,
If you want to start with platinum, a good book is ‘The Platinum Bench’, by Jurgen J. Maerz. Precised information and good tips!
Maybe you can find it on Amazon.
Take your time to learn de particular features of this metal.
Wish you success!
