And the next time you break it..it will bust someplace else and you

Nobody's even mentioned the grease that's sneaked into that crack while
it was growing. Probably damned-near the whole width of it is full of
grease.

Good brazing flux? Ehh... probably not...

Heating up with the rosebud properly will likely burn out whatever
grease is in there. And I rather suspect the 2 cracks didnt grow
until he loaded it with the cheater..so it might be pretty clean.

Judging by the "loud crack" sound he referred to, I bet there were no
cracks until the final featherweight push on the 12' breaker bar.

The crack's clean and should weld easily, with a bit less strength.

What he needs, though, is a HF 20T air-over-hyd press, huh? That
should handle copper tubing pretty well. snort
