Well You might need to weild your wand of fire on my ring of fire
. I will go to bunnings and buy the gear and buy a small amount of copper tube and give it a practice go [sm=drowning.gif] . Give us a call when your free and we can have a look at my ''Gas Ring''
No probs Adrian.
But seriously, if it needs a bronze-weld rather than a silver-solder, don't waste your time with a Bunnings blow-torch.
If you've ever done any electric soldering, you'll know the meaning of a 'cold joint'. Nothing to do with a Bong
But you know what I mean...
Braising requires the whole area around the joint to be cherry-red for it to flow and stick - without heating the guts out of everything else nearby.
For that, you need a nice fine, hot tip. A 1cm wide Apocalypse-Now flame isn't the best for this kind of job.
Hey, if worse comes to worst, we can dance around as it detonates during spool-up
