Peter, I appreciate your reluctance to use simple soft solder, though it would probably be OK unless you were using superheated steam. Rather than going in for the fully-fledged roasting involved in "real" silver soldering, you might consider Cupalloys "Comsol", which melts at 295C. That should be high enough to avoid any problems. It's on this page http://www.cupalloys.co.uk/soft-solders-c41.html Andy |

Hi Andy, Thank you for the link to Cupalloy, very interesting as I also make MR models in brass requiring solder joining. I will read through very carefully and see where I get. I have also done real silver soldering a good bunch of years ago. I then did I think four or five semesters in a silver smithing coarse. The only soldering done there was done on sterling silver using true silver solder and Borax as flux. Borax which was very nice to work with as it first dried when heqted and could then "glue" the small silver solder chips to the joint to keep them in place til they were molted. Did a fair bit of soldering then so I have the gear already. But I guess the 750 degrees is a tad too high for this, or? The solders at Cupalloy seemed to flow att about two thirds of that temp.
