[Antennas] Soldering stainless steel

Wed, 06 Nov 2002 15:43:48 +0000

I have soldered stainless steel as a plumber would, using acid core solder 
and a torch.

I would think small pieces of SS could be "tinned" using this technique, 
then scrubbed clean of the flux (maybe in the dishwasher) before using 
rosin-core solder to make the electrical connection.
