I picked this up from another user.  Anyone else have comments or technique to add here
Easy to solder! I soldered findings onto my piece after I have fired and it is very easy to solder onto Art Clay Silver. I've tried with PMC also, but ACS is actually better for soldering findings. ACS is dense enough to accept solder because the silver particles in the unfired clay are 1 to 20 microns in size. During firing, ACS sinters closely together more than PMC.

Just a note that if you are having any trouble soldering to ACS, you may want to pre solder your joint area.  That way when you go to do your solder attachment - not as much solder will soak into the molecular matrix giving you more of a footing
