Default RE: Solder issue.

Are you actually using silver solder (brazing) or is it soft solder with some silver in it? If it requires flux, it is soft solder. The solder joint should look shiny and the shape of the metals you joined should show through as if you painted it. If you have globs or a frosty appearrance, the solder didn't stick because the heat was wrong.
