I love it... instead of the torch head attaching to the bottle it's off this hose. So I have the bottle mounted in a holder on the side of my work bench and then all I have to hold is this lightweight torch head.. makes it much easier to move around your work without the long bottle sticking out behind the torch head. Someone let me know if this is what I need to get... http://www.ramweldingsupply.com/products-view.mcic?s=3641 Last edited by KvilleKrawler; 12-01-2008 at 12:01 PM. | |

prepping the joint as described and using the harris flux is a must. you do not need alot of flux. if you use too much it will run when it gets hot enough to liquify, giving the solder a nice path away from the joint or making a big glob. | |

anyone know somewhere else where I can order some Harris 56% or 45% safty silv brazing rod. In the post above at Ram welding supplies, shipping and packaging is almost as much as the brazing rod  |

you can braze steel or aluminum. brazing from what i'm told need ace, not map. map won't work...i hear. i've seen it done with map years back though so maybe you should get to your hobby shop and grab some tubes, a few aluminum brazing rods and give it a whirl. ...i tried but for the time and cost, i just asked jerry to do one for me instead. | |

Hello... Newcomer and looking forward to learn many things from you guys. So, my first question is... what's the propper "to buy" list for a rookie like me to start making stuff ? The material I'll be working on will be aluminum and steel. Links would be very helpfull... I'm more like visual (if this is the right word), than reading...  Thank you in advance. PS.Found this video on youtube.... thought I'd post it here... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQP8E...eature=related Last edited by V-6; 03-08-2009 at 12:37 PM. |

What color is the brake line that you folks are buying? I tried using some dark grey colored line, and its not working out too well. I'm sanding off the grey coating, cleaning it up real good, but the 56 will not take to the line? Anybody else have this problem??
