brazing

["James McCracken" <desnfab@hotmail.com>]

well, here is my $.02 brazing is usually done with brass or similiar 
alloy.flux is need to get the metal to flow properly and the biggest problem 
is getting the flux cleaned from the finished product. i think that the new 
water soluable fluxes are better, but the powdered flux will work it's way 
up through any type of finish. i've always found that a good brazed joint is 
much harder to do than welding. a bad brazing job can be done by almost 
anyone with a torch and very little patience
