Thanks Jeff I have just learned something new today. So you would need an acetylene torch to provide enough heat for doing this. Randy

Note that "silver soldering" isn't soldering using soft solder that has some silver in it, such as tin+silver or tin+silver+copper. Those kinds of soft solder are often called "silver bearing solder". Silver soldering is really a kind of brazing. For silver soldering (brazing) copper strap, sil-phos brazing rods are often used (sil-phos = silver + phosphorus, the balance of the composition being copper). --- Jeff WN3A
