Default RE: Silver soldering

hey there! well,,first,, what EXACTLY,, are ya joining? is the "silver solder" you have a stiff kinda wire? If it is,, you'll need an oxagen/acetylene torch to produce enough heat (get it RED HOT) Have you ever heard of stay-bright? It's a silver BEARING type of sodler,,about half-way between regular solder,and braze,, as far as strengh goes,, it's worth having in the shop,, as you can use a soldering gun with it,, if you've got a welding supply store in your area,,(no,,not the "big box" kinda store!),, go and as them,, they'll steer ya in the right direction, braze fluz WILL work,, but siver solder's is different. My 2 cents worth?,,, go talk to the experts.
