Hi all

I have taken some photos and tried to upload them to a public album
(hopefully not done this for ages). They show the fittings and
particularly the brass fitting I need to connect the sheath to.
Hopefully this works

I have tried some searching but can only find examples of soldering
the fitting to the wire rather than the sheath to the fitting.Â* They
seemed to use "silver solder" which I assume is not the same as
plumbing solder

Thanks

Lee.

Very helpful. "Silver soldering" is done at red heat, I think even
"soft soldering" (i.e. plumbing / electrical) will deform the plastic
however careful you are. I would go for epoxy: abrade and degrease the
parts first. Someone has already suggested this.

Silver soldreing is done at a bit less than red heat, but yes, its way
above 'soft solder'


Easy Flo No 2 is one of the lowest, 608 to 617 C, which is very dark
red. I reckon you need to get your work up to near enough 700 to be
practicable, which is dull red. Not bright, I agree, but clearly visible
in a dark-ish workshop.
