[TheForge] Soldering Stainless- or welding

[Mark A. Pesetsky]

Mark,
Definitely not; both the wife (who loves beer) and I are fighting the
battle of the bulge. Your hobby would amount to a disaster in our family
:-)


I recently made a break-through aluminum filler alloy discovery, after
months of frustration, by simply changing the input terminology. It
turns out that most of the so called miracle aluminum solder alloys are
simply Ney Metals "Ney 380" repackaged and sold for outrageous prices,
just like the so-called silver solder sold by jewelers supply outfits
are nothing more than short lengths of standard silver braze wire,
snipped from standard reasonably priced spools, and then sold in plastic
baggies-for outrageous prices. Drug dealers have nothing on these guys,
and it's all legal to boot!

Ha...Ok Mike...

On the silver solder discovery....NICELY DONE...I have always refrained
from purchasing silver solder every time I needed it...and now I am
thankful that I did!! Silver braze wire is widely available?

Thanks
Mark
