Tube Help I decided I am going to try and build a tuber. I have the torch and tubing. But i think i may have bought the wrong flux and wire. Flux: At lowes, not the sterling stuff but other stuff Wire: At lowes says it is for metal but is solder Tell me if it will work cause it hasnt for me... I will find the link later Thnx... |
if it comes in lke 1/8" diameter rods... your gonna have to use an oxy-acetlyene torch... but if you get harris safty silv... you can use map gas |
The solder you bought is probably meant to be used for electrical work, and it probably will not hold up well under certain stresses that crawling will put on a chassis. just my .02"thumbsup" BTW I used MAPP and 1/8 rod and it worked just fine. I even ran out of MAPP at one time and switched to propane. heat is heat as long as you give it enough time. I even saw a guy a while back, and I mean way bake some years use a small mirco butane torch, but MAPP and rod will work. other guys on this site use the same stuff. |
