Subject: [TN] solid gold boards


hi guys and girls, i have a solid gold board , the tracks are soild plated
gold about 25 microns thick , no ni, over 2 microns of copper   (outer
space reasons) and i was wondering how to solder the components ,   would
the soild gold traces cause brittle joints, or would the large gold ratio
allow a good soilder joint  with lead free solder or any type of solder. I
have no experiance  with soild gold  at all and was hoping some one out
there would has a guess. PS the traces are only 10 microns wide in areas
which is an other problem
