Default Soldering brass

If you're canny you can use a couple of sticks of solder with
different melt points ( use high/low with adjacent joints ).


When I was about 11 or 12 we did silver soldering for jewelery at school
(no precious metals or stones involved though :-) ). ISTR having three
or four different grades of solder so you could start with the highest
and work down to do several joints without melting the previous one.

Wouldn't be allowed now, of course, and I'm only 27.
