It is soldering and not brazing that I'm trying to do so I don't *think* I
need the 'real' stuff. I'm attempting to do what these guys are doing
without
buying their package.

As they use a butane torch I doubt they really are brazing.

No, they are not. Are they being serious? That little torch is a joke. I
have a couple and they will not heat anything unless it is very small. I
would not be surprised if the solder joint as demonstrated were rather poor.
The saw blade is going to conduct the heat away from the joint faster than
that torch will heat it even if you *can* keep it lit :-) Note that the
picture of the final result in the video was not seen well, if at all.

OTOH I wonder if using one of these pastes would be an option. I like the
concept of precise application to the joint:

Has anyone used them?
