[TheForge] brass hand rail

Hi Steve,

I have not been following this thread,  this is the first post I have opened
so don't know what has been previously said so sorry if I repeat.

It is my understanding that architectural bronze is also known as everdure.
There has been a lot of discussions about welding everdure with a tig welder
on the artmetal discussion group,  you may want to log on and ask someone if
they kept that info to send it to you.  Artmetal.com also keeps a very good
archive of tips and if you checked there you may find what you are looking
for.

good luck,

Roger Olsen
