Your oven doesn't go to 1200 deg F?

I know, but someday I really need to learn how to silver solder
so I guess I just got to keep on trying. I thought this was some
of the easier (and more general purpose) SS, so I figured I should
get an oz. to try out.


You will need different flux for the high-temp material. I like the
black stuff.

Scroll down to Stay-Silv.

Ask for the the black stuff because most beginners initially
overheat the work and kill the flux. It also seems to work well on
stainless.
