Excellent to see that you've got a good result :thumbup:

I like the idea of using the crucible as a micro-hearth. :mmr: :nrocks: :mmr: :nrocks:

Just out of curiosity, I tried the original brazing rod again, just to see, and I managed to get another very nice result with the original rod. So, the 5% silver rod was fine. I still haven't had a lot of experience to compare the two, but I did feel that the 15% silver was a little nicer to use, but they certainly both worked. So the original problems just came down to technique.

Some people think I'm pedantic, but I think it's important to call a brazing rod just that and not a welding rod. I know that there are a lot of people who refer to brazing as welding, but there is a fundamental difference in the two processes.
I'm glad you got it sorted! Regards, Matthew
