A Silver-Bearing solder PASTE called Solder-It melts at 430F,
and amazed me with its strength. I tossed all my AG4 and AG2%
stuff from Rat Shack, which may or may not be only slightly
better than "ordinary" Pb/Sn stuff.

The paste also has excellent flux. Hypodermic type container,
about 7 bux Canadian at Canuck Tire, likely at most hardware
stores although I haven't seen it at Home Depot. / mark

I want to make 1/64 scale models of construction equipment. I have
looked at using brass and soldering it together, but it doesn't stick
together well. I can break it apart at the solder joint. Is this
normal or is it my soldering skills? I also want to lay a bead of
solder along a 2" joint and then grind it smooth. Is this possible?
Should I braze it instead of soldering it?

I have thought about using sheet metal and a mig welder instead. Will
this work with very small parts and thin metal?

Thanks for any ideas.
