Default tubular

Hey, I am from east central Ohio and I am thinking of building a tubular. What flux, solder and heat source do you use for construction?

I thing guys are using brake line and brazing? I would get on ebay and look at some listings. they usualy state material and what they esed to slap it together. I doubt solder will hold up to the abuse.

Gary, you need a very hot torch set up, either mapp gas or a real torch(oxy/sed)

Lowes and most hardwares sell sticks of 3/32 brazing rod with flux already on it. Thats what I use.

Made this last night
