Thanks for the replys - it took me reading several responses to begin
to understand the references to cooking (guess I'm slow). My only
excuse is that I fired off my post during work (using Google Groups)
and wanted to get it up fast - don't know why I spelled brazing as
braising.

Anyway, I considered buying the mini torch that the link was provided
for - right now I do not know of other future uses other than
repairing future eye glass frames. I ended up surfing for eyeglass
frame repair and found a local source where I can take the frames in
and (as I understand it) they use a laser to weld.
