*sigh* Seems you forgot that pic... (not that I needed it) Thanks for the video. If you still have the raw footage, you can send it my way and I can clean it up for you (might not be as sharp as Mr Pink's, but that depends on your camera). I do video editing/web encoding for a living.  |

Do you heat and apply silver brazing alloy to the other side of the joint? It looks like your only melting it onto the tubing?

If you look at the back side of your joint and see that braze has not flown in there, one; you are not heating the joint evenly or enough, and two; you need to rebraze it from the back side. it takes some pratice, I still do some sh!t brazes now and then. Also, make sure your flux liquefies and flows into the joint before you apply the braze, this will ensure a total bond. stay safe kiddies. p!nK | |

simple, yet effective! I like it. The way you made it sound, I thought the vid would be 10 minutes long, but 20 seconds is all it takes! Thanks! |

I never could braze as good with the tubing laying on the table, as the metal it is laying on takes heat away from that joint...Also, looks like you could have "fishmouthed" the tubing better in that first and 2nd pic. Looks like to much of a gap on the inside |

I haven't seen anything but 3/32 or 1/16. but it should say it on the canister in came in. Well is it harris or something else. can you post a pic of what you have? I've never had a problem with my unadjustable heating torch. The only other time I use anything else is with thicker material that takes forever to heat up with just a normal set up. Then I use the mapp/oxy mix for higher heat out put. I also try to suspend my pieces above my metal table so the aluminum doesn't take some of the heat. |

Ok guys, I merged your 2 brazing video threads together and made it a sticky. You can keep adding to this thread with more tips/tricks. |

This seems very much like 'sweating copper' without the risk of leaks. Thanks for all the great info. I was really getting tired of burning my tube with my mig. |
