But I definitely got me doubts about "sweat-brazing," primarily because
it brings to mind sweat-soldering, which is trivial to do, works, and
doesn't need an OA flame, but it's only useful for electronic circuit
components. (and "brazing" doesn't seem to work that way. ;-) )



Bull****. I've used it on 3" and 6" copper pipe in the cooling
system of a TV transmitter. Of course, you have to know how to solder
more than a couple twisted wires to do it right..

And sweat brazing works the same way - just needs a lot more heat.
Brazing is just high temperature soldering when all is said and done.
