solder will make an ok joint, but lead solder is way too soft, depending on the stresses on the joint it may eventually shift or break \ |

At 3:30 into the video the brazing starts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u94Ws...eature=related In this video the guy is using Oxy-Acetylene, but you can use Mapp gas, it just takes a little longer to reach the required heat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZojIp...eature=related Search Youtube and you will find all sorts of hints and tips.

I am going for a OXY-ACETYLENE set-up, because MAPP gas is phased out and is no longer beeing produced, and is very had to get here in Europe. quote from wikipedia On 31 April 2008 the Petromont Varennes plant closed its methylacetylene/propadiene plant. They were the only North American plant making MAPP gas, and the only legal supplier of trademarked MAPP gas in the world. This caused a widescale shortage, and many substitutes were introduced by the companies who had repackaged the Dow and Varennes product(s). Most of these substitutes were propylene, like MAP//Pro [1] from BernzOmatic. Some were mixtures with higher hydrocarbons or with other ingredients like acetone. Many of these work acceptably in gas/air torches, but none work as well as MAPP in gas/oxygen torches. Last edited by murky123; 01-03-2011 at 04:17 AM. | |

Tractor supply had today mapp gas tanks 16oz for 6 dollars. Has anyone tried the brazing rods with flux on them?? If so how do they compare to dipping the rod in the flux?

ok i tried to braze my cage and my mapp torch wouldnt melt the rod. i could get it red hot but it wouldnt liquify the rod. the flux burned right off and wouldnt melt the rod??? so different rods/flux or just get the harris flux and different rods?? i am thinking that a better torch setup wouldnt hurt either bu if just buyin the harris flux and rod would do it id rather go that route

Ive been reading about brazing for quite awhile now, but sadly im still lost as to waht brazing rods to use. We have brazing rods here but it requires oxy and acyt which i dont have although I have a torch. Will this work out fine. A little guidance please.

Just get the Silver Solder, you will be happy that you did. I use the 56% that is not even Harris and it works great. All I use is the Mapp or the new one that took Mapps place (cant remember exactly what it was called). As soon as you see that the safety Silv has melted and starts to look like its part of the rod(and whitish), the solder will melt nicely. The rod will also start to have a light glow to it. I always try and braze in low-light. Helps to see the perfect time to start. You can always brush the solder against the joint while heating until you see it melting as well(dont hold solder directly in flame though or it will break off prematurely). It will take shorter or longer depending on the gauge of silver solder that you use.... GL C H |
