Craig,

The best choice for Silver Soldering/Braising is a propane torch. Stay away
from Oxy/Acet, you can do it with Oxy/Acet but it's MUCH easier with
propane. The propane torchs burn cooler but generates plenty of BTU's to get
the job done. There are 2 major players in the 'weed burner' market (slang
for these types of torchs) Sievert and Goss. Sievert is a Swedish company
with offices world wide, and is the big name in the game. Goss is a
good-ole-'merican company.

I currently have a propane torch that I use for jointing using lead free
solder but I now need to use a torch that is hot enough to enable silver
solder to flow and seal copper joints with a good degree of flame control.
At the same time it has to be reasonably small enough to store away as I
have no room to store large oxy-acetelene cylinders. I need a UK supplier.

Any info greatly appreciated

Craig
