[TheForge] metalworking question- soldering brass

[Andy Gladish]

Thanks so much, this is exactly the info I need.
Any recommendations for a suitable solder?
Also, what about preparation? Using jewelry solder, I've always cleaned  
with an acid bath- would filing and flux be suitable?
It's not so much perfect preservation of the patina, more that we don't  
want to get into having to polish the entire length because of a joint  
needing to be filed/sanded smooth.
Originally, they liked my TIG/silicon bronze welds, but then it seems a  
finer joint was needed- I'm still lobbying for TIG and some minimal  
smoothing, but we'll see...
