Butane dosn't get hot enough for brazing, get mapps.

Which brazing threads did you search through to discover that a butane soldering iron would be an appropriate tool?

Butane cannot get to the melting point of soldier and hold a steady temp. You need mapp gas or mapp?O2 to fill your needs!  |

I tried to use mine just to tack some brake line together then go back over with a mapp and braze, yea didnt work at all... cant get the brake line hot enough to get the solder to stick just formed a little puddle that i could flick off when it was cool.

I actually use a butane torch to braze, only thing i noticed is that brazing steel rod is way easyer then copper brakeline tube thats what i noticed, when i tryed to braze brakeline i had to use 2 butane torches but now when i did my roolcage in steel it worked out great, but im sure a mapp torch is better, i use some silver and flux from my local hardware store.
